No, I kind of pity you.
How much hatred do I hurl at you?
It seems you are drinking bitter poison.
Don't feel sorry for me. I don't feel sorry for me. It gives me thicker skin.
But being a Fascist in the Twin cities and carrying cardboard with Mussolini pictures taped to it takes a hell of a lot more courage, sacrifice, and a heavier cross than being a Muslim immigrant from Somalia. Or any other minority or group.
They are actually treated extremely well as a general rule. There are exceptions.
If you put that cardboard with Mussolini pictures taped to it down and keep your mouth shut you can avoid being mistreated whenever you wish. Black folks on the other hand can't hide what we look like. Just something to consider.
Wait, this fascist lives in my city? Fucking hell.
I'm sure if someone taped dead baby corpses on their body it would be even MORE "courageous", "sacrificial", and "heavier", too.
Someone doing something assholeish and provocative isn't brave. It's narcissistic and provocative. Carrying something hateful that brings scorn on you is a personal choice, not a "cross".
Of course people are treated better, generally, when they don't tell people that the first party to the exchange wishes to unilaterally and violently deprive them of their natural rights to self determination. That said, many people already act in a transparent way to deprive then of their natural right to self determination. Loudly proclaiming that this is your goal gives others full and enthusiastic consent for them to treat you as you say is your wont of others, and gives you no cause to respond, as while your statement expresses consent on your behalf, that consent doesn't reflect back on them even if they fulfill it. You have unilaterally consented to fascism* when yo attempt to foist it on others.
*not actually fascism because your actions constitute consent, but as a fascist you would probably call it that
**Of course, I rather expect it's more a public humiliation thing and that the people who do it have their behavior reinforced by this unacknowledged sexual response. Oh yes, hate my disgusting fascism even more senpai! Oh yes that's the ticket! Yeah, call me a filthy disgusting fash! Nggggggggf fffff HnnnGGG.... Oohh, was it good for you?
