    I used to see KKK rallies during the Clinton Administration as the last gasps of a dying ideology. Since the Trump Administration, it feels more like a resurgence of something that should be dead.

      It’s absolutely frustrating.

      The “Guys you really shouldn’t punch a Nazi they’re just misunderstood UwU” assholes online really never had to deal with these racist hateful mofos.

        Don’t punch Nazis, you could hurt your hand.

        A bat is more effective, though I hear .30-06 works well too

          And what do you do when it’s someone you love?

            Gets a lot more complicated there, but in that case punching them was probably not the right answer anyways, so the escalation of violence from that doesn’t make a difference.

              I feel like we are more likely to have an effect on those people and maybe we should spend more time talking about how to help them than we do talking about how much we’d like to swing a baseball bat into someone’s face because nazis.

            Homie writes some brilliant and deep stuff…there should be far more fans in the wild. Oh, and he has a Swordfish II tat, so…

            Heh

            “Quicksand” is so fitting these days

              Ooh, have you listened to Zaid Tabani (and his verse on the Real Folk Blues cover for charity that came out during the pandemic)?

                I remember that campaign during the pandemic. That was a good one. iirc, the guy that voiced Spike worked with him on it too. Good stuff.
