Fascism is going too far

I am reaching fucking breaking point.

In Italy you have the fucking interior minister bemoaning how "unfortunate" it is that the government cannot persecute legitimate citizens just because they happen to be of Roma ethnicity. Let me say that again: Italy's new ultra-right interior minister would like to be able to round up Roma people who are *citizens* of Italy, and expel them from the country.

In America you have Donald Trump locking small children in cages in a concentration camp, with no contact with their parents, and US immigration officials mocking and laughing at these children.

Anyone who does not disown this shit and campaign for it to stop, now, and for these fucking subhuman, immortal filth to be not only driven out of office but jailed, is beneath contempt.

The Brexit campaign was based on faschistoid ideas to stop cheap labour from for instance Poland and on other murky nationalist ideas. You should really not go for that kind of high pitch on this matter. Please fix the shit you have on your home backyard first!

I'm trying to, Peter. I'm actively campaigning for the overthrow of Mrs. May's awful government.

But you are not fighting for overthrowing the Brexit decision, are you?

Seriously though. If you think I'm not allowed to be appalled by Trump locking toddlers in cages because I haven't personally defeated Brexit, you're part of the problem. Fucking liberals.

Since I am getting curious now, tomorrow I will listen into "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" after reading about in on Wikipedia. Promise!

If I get this right, you are only contesting the way you leave the EU, not the actual decision that you are leaving the EU, right?

What are you fucking talking about? I would like the UK to stay in the EU and have never said otherwise.

You don't think Italy's Interior Minister, who wants to round up legitimate citizens and expel them from the country on racial grounds alone, is a fascist? What the fuck is he, then?

For someone who purports to be opposed to fascism, you sure do enjoy the idea of political imprisonment as well as calling people subhuman.

Ooh, I seem to have gotten that completely wrong. Sorry for that! From the debate at the time of Brexit, I thought you were on the leave side. Anyhow. It is very nice to see that you are one of the few UK people in this forum that show some kind of solidarity with the rest of Europe that is less well off than you and I living in the more well off Western part of Europe.

Oh right I see. Well I'm happy to respond to that. Being a fascist is a choice. Being of a particular race, or being born in a particular country, is not.

You can choose whether to be a racist fash or not. You cannot choose whether to be of Roma descent or not.

Wanting to persecute and harm people based on their race/ethnicity, as fascists and racists like leon and croak do, is something they have chosen to support. It is inhumane, inhuman, and despicable.

Wishing to treat people differently on the basis of their fascism is not the same as wishing to treat them differently on the basis of race or ethnicity.

Fascists are scum. Fascism is an ideology of violence and hatred. To shut up fascists, to deny them the right to speak, to disqualify them from public office, and so on, is a humane, moral, good thing to do. To counter their violence with violence is justified and proportionate.

You heard it here first folks. If someone says things you don't like you should punch them as hard as you can - and keep punching them until they can't or won't say anything you dislike ever again.

Thanks, Jamie! You really opened my eyes.
