There's something vaguely ridiculous about a union Jack face mask. Anyway hope that man is set on fire.

Captain Britain has entered the chat.

At least the captain's looks like he could be a wrestler, the chap in the post looks more like someone employed in Nigel Farage's sex dungeon

Vaguely? You're a very kind person, thank you, it's a very nice quality. Have a nice day.

I don't have your fortitude, and I think it's absolutely laughable.

First sentence fine. Second sentence is a call to violence, you should be better than that.

Nah I'm entirely fine with acts of violence against the far right. Especially in cases where they're going around engaging in acts of violence against marginalised people. How the fuck would we stop then otherwise? Sternly worded letters?

I'm sure you are. You probably feel just as justified in calling for acts of violence against the far right as the far right do in their calls for acts of violence against the people they hate. But the far right need to be demonised for their hate and violence and giving them the ability to say "look, the left wing (or whatever other group) want us dead, we need to defend ourselves/get to them first" etc, is entirely unhelpful, don't give them any excuse to legitimise themselves.

I've had these types of debates before and they usually go back and forth with no benefit to anyone, these types of views are often too deeply entrenched for either of us to change eachothers minds.

All I have to say is, it takes someone to be the bigger person, or else you quickly end up in a race to the bottom. I'm not going to say acts of violence are never justified, but they should be an absolute last resort and shit stirring calls to violence shouldn't be made willy nilly on the internet by keyboard warriors that have probably never given or received a punch in their lives. I certainly hope that a someone doesn't decide that they hate people like you and go about making calls of violence against you.
