Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

And this is why “centrists” let Nazis takeover.
Firstly I'm not a centrist. My beliefs lie firmly on the left.
Secondly, you're not addressing my points.
It's easy to be edgy and support terrorism from behind a keyboard. The reality of living under terrorism threats from either side is no better than fascism. See northern Ireland, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Nigeria. The only one I'd like to live in is northern Ireland, where the threat of terrorism has subsided due to treating each side as people and ending terrorism.
The only way nazism grows is by treating people like they are not people. This is why nazis take over.
Nazis take over because people are mean to them is a fucking wild ass take holy shit.
IED is being mean?
Tender footed leftists not realizing you have to protect tolerance from the intolerant.
Who won again in that situation and why?
Northern Ireland? Nobody. And tensions remain today but people can love normal loves without oppression.
Or you mean Palestine? Terrorist attacks on either side didn't help either. Eventually it lead to genocide.
Jurisdictionally it's Britain, not Ireland. You'd need a passport generally to move between them. The Nazis won in that, so to speak. We're all tired, and maybe people need to see these things to be a bit more brave. No one is coming to save us.
No, it's Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. Both being part of the UK. If you're going to be pedantic, be correct.
Free movement between Ireland and the UK predates the EU and continues to this day. One part of the Brexit discussions was continuing border free travel between north and south on the island of Ireland.
I agree, nobody is coming to save you and you have to do it for yourselves. Bombing protestors, however distasteful, will make it so there is nothing worth saving.
Don't get me wrong. Terrorism can work. And today's terrorist is tomorrow's freedom fighter. I don't thinknthe USA is at that level of oppression for mqny people to be sympathetic to a terrorist movement, which is a requirement for it to work.
