FOR ALL YOU FUCKING “DON’T PUNCH NAZIS, YOU’RE MEAN!” IDIOTS

THIS is what you’re defending: 

A punch is too fucking soft. 

And besides…

After one solid clock to the jaw, now memed into perpetuity, Dick Spencer is afraid to show his Nazi face in public. Direct action gets the goods.

People still asking “so this means I should punch anyone I disagree with, then?”

No, it means you should punch nazis because they disagree with other people living.

Also worth noting, here’s an excerpt from the 1939 book Fascism and Big Business by Daniel Guérin:

If in the beginning, when the Hitler bands were still weak, the workers’ parties had answered them blow for blow, there is no doubt their development would have been hampered. On this point we have the testimony of the National Socialist leaders themselves.

Hitler confessed in retrospect: Only one thing could have broken our movement – if the adversary had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed, with the most extreme brutality, the nucleus of our new movement.”

And Goebbels: “If the enemy had known how weak we were, it would probably have reduced us to jelly…. It would have crushed in blood the very beginning of our work.”

Punch them. Make them afraid to spread their poison. Oppose them in every avenue available to you because we know what happens when this goes unchecked.

More context about this quote is on Snopes.

The other point we keep bringing up to those who gasp and clutch their pearls in shock and horror when they see fascists being met with violence is that fascist violence is a serious, serious threat to our communities.  By our count, bigots and fascists have murdered eighteen people this year and seriously injured thirty-five in a series of shootings, stabbings, arsons, and mob attacks.  Pretending that anti-fascist violence is the real concern in the face of fascist attacks like these = willingly engaging in the logical fallacy of false equivalence.  

For people pretending that anti-fascist violence is the real problem, we’d ask: How do you expect people trying to keep themselves, their families, and their friends from being hospitalized or murdered by fascists to react?  Where is your outrage and condemnation of fascist violence?

Here is a link of my episode in the series, Identify, hosted by the Olympicchannel and Vice. This series features the stories of 5 transgender athletes and their struggles/triumphs and this one is my story. My episode highlights how important my relationships with those close to me have made me strong and helped me through any obstacles I have faced thus far. 

This is definitely the most in depth piece on me and I am extremely proud to stand behind this series.

if ur bi/pansexual

  • you can call yourself gay and queer (if you choose to reclaim the latter), bc u experience same-gender attraction
  • you’re not in a “gay” or a “straight” relationship based on who you’re dating unless you want to define it as such yourself (you don’t need to let someone else define it for you)
  • don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if the validity of your sexuality is being questioned based on the relationship you’re in or if you’re more attracted to one gender than others
  • also ur cute

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

his name is Ibn Khaldun

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

Also – Arab scholars are the major reason that the great classics of the Greek and Roman world still exist – they were preserved by Arab scholars, where they were largely destroyed in Europe by the crazy that was the Dark Ages.
