    We finally agree on something. History has shown that pacifism cannot defeat an infestation of conservatism. It must be cured by force.

    Also, isn’t Matt Gaetz a child molester? Why is he still allowed to walk free and give statements to the press?

        What makes you think vigilantilism is a problem with the extreme left?

        Just as an example off the top of my head, the murder of Ahmaud Arbery was done by right-wing looneys and defended by the far-right as morally good vigilantilism, leading to the repeal of Georgia’s citizens arrest laws (i.e., their laws for legal vigilantilism).

        Which is why they are not taken seriously by anyone else on the political spectrum.

        Oh no, the pedophiles don’t take us seriously, how sad.

        This isn’t hard to understand at all. Unless you want to throw out the laws that define our society and perscribe to vigilante justice based on feelings, instead of evidence and juries.

        A jury of his peers found Trump guilty of being a rapist, but I have yet to see a single “law and order!!! we have to rely on evidence and juries!!!” Trump follower acknowledge that.
