The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No one ever defeated fascism by shutting their eyes to it.

Fascism was defeated the only way it can be, by force of arms and then by the justice system imposing the appropriate punishment and, in the case of Germany, by banning the hateful ideology.

You do give fascism legitimacy by engaging its advocates in debate. Fascist ideas just become one of many ideas sold in the marketplace of ideas. Fascism is a violent and hateful ideology bent on the total subordination and domination of the ever shifting “enemy”.

This board should become a forum not for debating fascists but for debating the strategy and tactics of taking direct action against the fascists. The ICE gestapo isn’t just in Minneapolis, it’s in my community now too.

If you love America, get a whistle, join a signal chat, and be prepared to defend your freedoms and the freedoms of your neighbors. Your constitutional rights only exist, unfortunately, if you are prepared to positively assert them in the face of state force.

Rather than debating fascists, why don’t you use your lawyerly skills to share with freedom loving Americans the best tactics for defending our freedoms safely in the face of ICE violence in our communities?
