(11,481 posts)I haven't ever started anything with anybody, but I have held off violence in the past, even in self defense, when it would have been against somebody totally outclassed by myself. With a fascist I wouldn't. Take that for whatever you will.
You can be "opposed" to violence, provoked or unprovoked, against fascists or by fascists all you want, but that won't change the fact that fascists ARE violent and wouldn't hesitate to engage in violence against YOU if you don't fit their narrow racial or political parameters. Ergo, their very EXISTENCE is an assault to some and I'm one of them.
And yes, this guy could be just an idiot that didn't know what he was doing. Now maybe he'll learn what he did and NOT DO IT ANY MORE! I don't like pseudo fascists either. They act as apologists and stalking horses for the real thing as far as I'm concerned.
