    This erroneously assumes new fascists aren’t being born every day. It also erroneously assumes that the threat of retribution deters things like fascism, or crime in general. It’s a weird sort of eugenics where “if we just kill all the fascists there won’t be anymore ever.”

      The point isn’t to kill them all it’s to kill their leaders and make examples of them. Do you really think many folks would’ve wanted to cheerfully read off aids death lists back in the 80s if Rush Limbaugh had been vaporized by a car bomb?

      Fascists are inherently cowards who back down when an example is made of their louder fellows, there’s a reason they mostly do actions in groups and it’s because they know they’ll get their shit kicked in otherwise. The problem is that this shit kicking is not extended to the leaders, for the sake of so called civility.
