    So instead of opposing them legally, you want to jump straight to violence? I guarantee that will make a martyr out of Fuentes, give Trumpers evidence about how “the enemy within” is dangerous and destructive, and lead to people you support and care about being killed in return.

    Telling people to use violence first is not a plan for a safe nation, and it’s very illegal as well. If you ever stop talking big on a forum and actually commit the violence you push for others to do be prepared to spend the rest of your life in prison, and rightfully so. Even worse, someone mentally unstable might read all these posts and go do it themselves and ruin their life. In no way is that the ethical choice, even if you are personally convinced it’s worth it.

    Violence should be a last choice, it should be kept within bounds that prevent it from being a crime/war crime, and should never be done by whoever is angry enough to kill people identified as dangerous by an internet forum.
