I am a big fan of the Iver Johnson Owlhead Anti-fascist application device.

Wish I owned one.

Edit - Hell everything Iver Johnson made was cool as hell.

The real quote where he mocks violent idiots (after presenting it as a cure for insomnia):

Oh my god, it is almost like people use memes to communicate ideas that are different than the original source.

Not all violence is equal. The only way to stop a Nazi is to bash them. If you deny that, you're a liberal which is a fascist collaborator. You're going to sleep walk your way into Nazism.

The only way to stop a Nazi is to bash them.

There's another, more effective and less violent and non-solipsistic way. A great deal of the power of fascism stems from their economic position. Guys like Zuck and Elon are dangerous because of their enormous wealth, not merely because of their toxic political views.

And since you can't just Luigi Mangione the problem of economic elitism, you need collective action at an economic level to starve out the beast.

Incidentally, the "starve the beast" strategy is a conservative approach historically espoused and employed by Grover Norquist, Tom DeLay, and now (via the guise of DEI) Bill Ackman, Peter Thiel, and Donald Trump. Its incredibly effective, because it eliminates the ability of the opposition to effectively organize and administer large groups of professionals.

Personally, I'd prefer a larger caliber for Nazi hunting.

The shitstain Stewart Rhodes lost his eyeball when he attempted to clean a loaded pistol. Yep, there are dumb fucking idiots with guns.

My wife shot herself in the eye with a confetti cap gun last night trying to see if it was loaded. She literally pointed it at her face and pulled the trigger.

Things that would garner negative attention today, but that were still pretty cool way back when.
