i can’t reblog because i’m blocked but like, this whole rally would not have happened or would have been delayed had the ACLU not stepped in to ensure the rally went on. the nerve of that stupid liberal oaf to try and pull a fast one on people by limiting the problem to just the cop-propaganda, rather than the fact that this whole debacle would have been avoided if the ACLU had remained neutral on the problem of, “should nazis be allowed to rally in public”.
but it didn’t, and now someone died just so the ACLU can thump its chest about its legal virtue and look, all i’m saying is that if the ACLU wants to emphasize their centrist, all sides are the same ideology on the basis of the “blindness” of justice by advocating for nazis’s right to a public forum – a brand that now has a tangible, immediately traceable body count – then their desires should be satisfied by having their eyes removed. justice for all right, especially the people who openly gloated about fighting in court to make sure the event took place:
these fuckers are wrist deep in the blood of at least two people and some of you have the nerve to come to their defense? and then cry about being told to eat shit and die for defending the people who made this all possible?
This is what people mean when they say “neutrality is violence”.
If you don’t actively and publicly oppose those who would hurt innocents, then you are giving those people a platform to spread their vile views. If you have to power to stop needless bloodshed and do not, then you are at least partially responsible for those deaths. Centrism is absolutely not a virtue in life-or-death scenarios, and it’s not “all the same either way”.
It looks like the city was going to approve the permits on the compromise that the rally got moved to a safer location and the ACLU said ‘nope. Approve this or we’ll “take legal action.”’ They also said the city could try to articulate why it would be unsafe and ‘let the leaders respond.’ Wow. Hahahaha. How could nazis possibly be a safety issue 😤
