@mo yeah the problem with fastest and wasn't the politically motivated threat to violence it was what those political motivations were and what those threats of violence were attempting to achieve as their end goals, in specific. This is the thing about centrists who pull this shit — in order to create a false equivalency between fascists and anti-fascists they have to retreat to using vague generalities and abstractions like politically motivated violence and attempting it to ensure political Conformity and stuff like that instead of being specific and talking about the goals each side has and the world each side wants to live in — where each side draws the line at what is unacceptable belief and behavior worthy of violence is actually extremely important and they attempt to erase that. The way to deal with people that use nonsense reasoning like this is to force them to be specific no matter what. Ruthlessly tell them over and over to be specific about what fascists want and what anti-fascists want and don't let them wriggle out of the question.
