@skeletor@mas.to I humbly disagree. My grandfather was paid by the government to punch Nazis. (Actually, he was issued a bayonet, but close enough.)

@pixelscience@mastodon.social @skeletor@mas.to Don't think bayonets played much role in WW II. Certainly not in the European theater at any rate. Appreciate the sentiment though. My granpaps took down 11 nazis personally. I look forward to beating his record when the fireworks start soon.

@Beggarmidas@mastodon.social @pixelscience@mastodon.social @skeletor@mas.to I've been working out. I figure if I get strong and lucky, and act fast, I might catch one or two of the scared shitless kids before someone with any actual combat experience does me in. If I get really lucky I get one of the semi-experienced ones while they're distracted killing someone else. I actually have some fight experience so know I really have zero chance in real combat, where I'll likely be ambushed and killed before I even know it happened.

That is a bit too pro-status quo, when the awful people are burning the world.

@skeletor@mas.to going to disagree. Being awful to awful people is a civic duty.

@skeletor@mas.to No. That's not an answer. That's just conflict avoidance. THat's how you end up with fascists gaining power right under your nose until they become strong enough to kill you and everyone like you.
What you propose is little more than a maximally painful way to be forcefully euthanized.

@skeletor@mas.to When coworkers justify toxic behavior as "Corporate", I became self employed and one day if my company will become large, I'll have zero tolerance for toxicity; and I'll redefine corporate into ethics and moral behavior first. Humans and people first.

@Newhereish@mastodon.social @skeletor@mas.to Agreed. These politics of avoidance has allowed evil to thrive with nothing standing up to counter it. Now we must fight like our lives depend on it.
...Because they do.

@skeletor@mas.to not sure, punching some septums and jailing some crooks sounds like a valid strat.

@skeletor@mas.to Nah, absolutely not. That's how the biggots and fascists win.

@skeletor@mas.to it's not enough. silence is compliance. I'm reminded of that scene from The Pianist where one says they're a significant number of people against the nazis... the other says let's wait... they didn't fight back and they cramped into a cargo train, shipped to their death.
