    America has a serious Nazi problem, and unless they’re willing to get real cool about the only ways to deal with Nazis, rich fucks like these are going to keep infecting institutions and making them more and more extreme. This dude is laying out a plan to ethnically cleanse San Francisco and not only is he allowed to walk its streets a free man, but he is allowed to organize other lunatics to follow him.

    • Americans don’t need to be cool about shit. We’ve been too cool about shit, until this dumb fuck is about ten inches shorter. Not like Balaji will be making productive use of either end if nothing is done.

        Currently, advocating violence against Nazis is considered not very cool. I’m indicating that maybe it should be. I’m trying to be respectful to the Beehaw hosts and not explain what I would like to do to people like Balaji, which would certainly violate some content policies.

          There is no need to be tolerant towards the intolerant. If someone says they want to do some ethnic cleansing, that’s not exactly a nice gesture and pushing back against that message is both cool and good.

        They’re using “get real cool with [the methods]” to mean “get on board with”, not “relax”.

        • Too few are cool “enough” with the methods when it comes to actually using them. That’s why I’m saying “cool” is the wrong word. We don’t need more chill. We need more people mad enough to act and not even begin to give a damn if anyone is cool with their actions.

          Unfortunately, almost none of us reach that point short of direct harms to our persons or our (chosen, birth, whatever)families. Even for the dude who iced Shinzo, it was mostly a personal vendetta.

            We need more people mad enough to act and not even begin to give a damn if anyone is cool with their actions.

            Which is another way of saying that we need people to be cool with taking actions themselves that the rest of society still deems too extreme to condone.
