    You’re right, it’s stupid and immoral to use the best tools for the job. The right thing to do under tyranny is to hobble your ability to fight.

      No the right thing to do is to not have the fight in the first place because we all actually got our shit together. Having the fight at all is a failure that’s at least as likely to balkanize this country as it is to result in one side winning.

        Fantastic! I’m glad you have figured out how to change the minds of fascists, as a pacifist. Please hurry, we are short on time.

          When you look at polling and history it’s obvious that most people, even most people voting for Trump aren’t fascists. They simply don’t believe Trump is actually that bad. The mission is not to give a flower to a fascist. It’s to get photographed doing so in order to show everyone else the picture.

              Well why wait then? If they’re just the good Germans why aren’t you already blowing things up? After all that means you’re the French resistance right?

                You don’t even know what the good Germans were, do you?

                They were people who thought that Hitler wasn’t really all that bad. They were just nice people who didn’t want to cause a fuss.
