See the thing about the supposed cycle of violence is that it implies equal fault and innocence of both sides. It relies on toleration theory.

Toleration is a treaty, when you break it you are no longer protected by it. It is an entirely justifiable and moral act to instigate violence against fascists, because their very ideology is a violation of the treaty of toleration, and their organization is one which cannot sustain itself in the face of repeated attacks.

You often hear complaints about how enforcing internet rules against the fascists just leads to whackamole bans, but the thing is that every successive ban leaves the fascists less coordinated, less emboldened, and more isolated. There is a critical point of punitive and preventative acts where a fascist org is effectively atomized and anyone worth pulling out has been rock bottomed into a holding space where they can be rehabbed.

Peaceful methods are what can be achieved after you've destroyed them, either through hounding operations making it less and less possible for them to group up and act together, or by normalizing violence and intolerance against them to the extent that they are at least afraid enough to stop trying to not be sniveling cowards such as the fascist naturally is.

The true fascist is only kept quiet in an environment of fear, where they know that trying to stick their heads up will get it lopped off in short order. An environment where even peacible means of antifascism still include complete social ostracism and career destruction, and where persistent fascism is met with swift and appropriate violent rejection.

Don't just punch the Nazis, dox them to their families and employers and communities, encourage others to be armed and ready to attack preemptively in their presence, organize around making that Nazi specifically know their rightful place is silent and afraid until they've cut the shit and stopped being a nazi, before someone ends up killing them in self defense.

I'd want to take the fedora back from the incels and neckbeards. Other currently out of fashion hats and caps too, but the fedora has been too monopolized by inceldom when it's a perfectly serviceable hat for folks who wanna dress up from ball caps.

FatPeopleHate, not because they did it, but because they promoted a woman to be in charge of it exclusively so they could throw her under the bus for it, and the sweats of reddit bought the whole thing hook line and sinker

I mean now that I'm thinking of it, that'd be absolutely right, only way to make it more Hawaiian would be to find a way to get some tarro on it too.

My guess is the only reason ham was used is because it was made up before spam caught on.

Also the guy who did it was Canadian, so non zero chance he was just pulling the recipe out of his own ass.

Probably Hawaiian/Filipino diaspora. Those guys love spam, to the extent of innovating fusion dishes centered around it.

Institute maximum ad space limits that an individual corporation or organization are allowed to buy per unit of eyespace.

Also, adverts put up on your behalf contribute to that limit, so no SuperPAC shenanigans.

Should at least resolve the issue of being spammed endlessly by adverts from the same group over and over and over again.

Yeah but consider that I'm talking about the Custodes and Astartes, AKA the prize bulls of that livestock equation that get better medical care than the people working on the farm.

Rather not say, but think sizeable arab/muslim diaspora population but still well in the minority, though still susceptible to radicalization.

I like to imagine the imperium includes complimentary transitional care along with the gene sculpting done to create Custodes and astartes.

Not because they're especially caring about trans rights, but because the Mechanicus have deemed it more efficient to undertake such procedures while they already have the flesh bags open for organ implantation and/or refinement anyways.
