I fully support this. Let's do what we did in ww2.
the only* solution. ive been coming to understand talking them out of being fascists rarely works if they are that deep into it.
You cannot logic someone out of a position that they didn't use logic to get to.
Only two options really, play on their emotional reasoning to make them feel the victim of their own beliefs, or you know, make their physical safety in question.
i'm familiar with option 2, violence is straightforward.
but how does option 1 work?
Manipulate them basically. Essentially weaponize the shift that conservatives have when they are personally affected by something. Think McCain turning around on gay marriage because his kid was gay or whatever.
If trump and maga can manipulate using emotion because these people only use emotional reasoning, surely a competent person can weaponize other grievances in the opposite direction.
Just make them more mad about something else that we can all agree on.
I still find it hard to not automatically assume a bald guy dressed in typical punk attire isn't a neo-nazi skinhead, since almost every dude I've met that looks like that has been one.
Yeah, appearance is a form of communication whether we like it or not.
In my case, I’m a big white guy with a beard living in a 3/4 red area. So things like red hats, mirrored sunglasses, and camo/punisher/tacticool clothes or accessories aren’t allowed anywhere near me, lol. I stick with thick framed glasses too.
I don't really keep track of fashion for punks, (it feels like there's a hole where fashion knowledge would go-i just can't be arsed to pretend to care) but as an almost entirely bald guy (very short buzz) now I'll have another paranoia to think about.
It won't make any sense (hence why I call it that) since I almost always just wear cargo shorts and a plain solid color tee, but now that annoying part of the brain will have this to latch onto.
I've gone pretty bald so these days I buzz or shave my head. It sucks. People think I'm a Nazi or a cop or military. I guess being mistaken for military isn't that bad but I'm the opposite of a fucking Nazi and looking like a cop makes it hard to buy drugs.
Oh yeah, and punk is my favorite. I used to keep my mohawk up with spray paint.
