jfc. This isn't intended as a "fascists on both sides" argument, but you really need to take a moment and look at yourself there.
Well, when you feel the need to preface your argument with
then
The fascists want to kill me and people I care about.
Your argument is a pro-fascist accelerationist ad hominen. Accelerationism is self-defeating. We should ban accelerationist posts and comments.
And your argument is a comically reductionist one that calls literally anyone you don't agree with a fascist and calls for them to be silenced.
The amount of mental gymnastics you have to be doing to consider someone pro-fascist for supporting a left-wing party, just because you've decided that you know the only true winning strategy for defeating fascism (which apparently includes silencing dissent).
Read my argument.
Which party is that? In the US, we have a neoliberal party we should vote for, the Democrats, and a fascist party that needs to lose, the Republicans. I'm arguing we should vote for the Democrats. This meme is arguing there is no hope and that we should all give up and die. That's accelerationist bullshit. We should all live no matter our flaws. edit: typo
