Yes. Controlling other people is the highest priority. This would just be another example of that kind of person who would hurt themselves as long as someone they hate hurts too.

But you know, I disagree with the eye for an eye. We can be better than that, and fight for the rights and protection of even those who would spit on us. To quote Snuffles, "We are not them."

When it comes to fascists, a head for an eye is the appropriate response. Do not fall prey to the paradox of tolerance.

I don't think tolerance is a dichotomy. You can accept differences of others and "take the higher road" sometimes, but choose to fight in the mud others. And yes, for that example we're going down in the filth where they belong.

and fight for the rights and protection of even those who would spit on us.

And... umm... how do you plan to win that fight?

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, that's a valid point, and it seems we're at that crossroads now.
