    It’s a false equivalence because context matters.

    Antifascists mask up because being doxxed by extremists can lead to actual physical harm or job loss just for opposing hate. These marchers mask up because they know promoting Nazi ideology carries social consequences. Protecting your safety from extremists is not the same as protecting your reputation because you are a racist.

        the gov literally murders antifascist protestors and lets nazi ones get away clean.

        antifa masks because uncle sam will shoot them.

        nazis mask because they are uncle sam or don’t want the public punching them for being nazis. they are ashamed. until which point they feel safe enough to not mask and be full 1940 mode.

        this is why we must never tolerate nazis. they are not human.

      “Yes, you see the difference is that I agree with the motives of one side and not the other.”

      This is just special pleading.

          And you’ve given us an example of the left’s complete lack of critical thought so long as it advances your political arguments.

            Critical thinking acknowledges context that you’re deliberately discarding, so you’re being deliberately ignorant. Which means you’re here in bad faith.

              Special pleading is an informal fallacy wherein a person claims an exception to a general or universal principle, but the exception is unjustified.

              Start there. Learn.

                  You deserve nothing and can fuck off yourself. You wouldn’t learn anything anyway.

                  But suffice it to say if your rules involve who is doing things then it’s a fucking exception. But you’re a moron so go back to your circle-jerk.

                    You have yet to justify your position or even elaborate on it. You’re not even participating in the discussion you started. Are you stupid? What about the concept of context do you just fundamentally not fucking understand here ya dumb fuck because who is doing it isn’t fucking relevant. Are you functionally literate? Because you genuinely don’t seem to understand the fucking words we’re all using.

      Members of the group in the picture (patriotic front) just recently got doxxed which resulted in them losing jobs, atleast thats what the press reports. Which is good btw and I find it good.

      I am not saying this to make them look good or give them sympathy, but for them its also more then just social consequences and also a matter of safety. And yes its not in the same level as is for antifascists & anarchists, I know that.
