      lol imagine thinking being labeled a part of a hate group is arbitrary, funny how I’ve never had random people use labels like nazi on me, if you find yourself getting these ‘arbitrary’ labels thrown at you often maybe it’s time for some self reflection

      worse imagine thinking this while the party has major figures wearing proud boy colors, using proud boy slogans, openly admiring fascist figures like hitler and throwing fucking nazi salutes

      ‘arbitrary’

      you’re a fucking joke

      The label isn’t arbitrary when you’ve earned it by how you act. You have decided to arbitrarily label your opponent here as “intolerable” based on no evidence. Conservatives at large have been labeled “intolerable” based on their abject refusal to support basic protections of human rights and safety, bad-faith arguments, bait and switching, lying directly to the faces of their constituents as well as to other lawmakers who require an assumption of trust in order to operate, and actively and frequently calling for violence and murder against non-violent members of the out-group.

      Your rights end where mine begin and vice versa, and overstepping those bounds causes the social contract to be voided. When you void your own social contract then you are personally responsible for whatever happens outside of the protection of that contract. Don’t want to get punched in the face? It’s real easy then, don’t tell me that my sister deserves to be murdered. Like will be met with like.
