          Keeping a list of people openly putting out fascist paraphernalia is a good thing because people like this hide as soon as the wind turns against them. Don’t let them fade into the background.

            So…I’m with you. Fascists are bad, and we need to make sure that Fascists can’t hide their fascism when and if we get this country sorted and back on its feet. But I have questions!

            • How do we ensure that we only catch Fascists? Your Magatmap seems to require an image, but no description.
            • What stops me from cooking up an AI image of somebody I don’t like with Trump flags and swastika arm bands and getting them submitted to your system?
            • What happens if this guy was a Trumpet in 2016, but is apologetic about it now and swears he’s no longer a trumpet?
            • How do you ensure that innocent people not get caught up in your MAGAt Map?
            • What are we supposed to do with the map afterwards?

            Liberals have a good reason for questioning your methods here. We don’t want to become what we hate because when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. And those of us who look at your suggestion wonder if we will become Nazis trying to fight Nazis your way.

          MAGAt Map is like Family Watchdog. It provides locations to avoid for safety.

          The Ohio Sheriff is advocating lists for retribution and mob violence using a position of power.

          I hope you can see the difference.

          Does anyone here believe that these are equivalent, and that both of your statements are true?

                The side that’s not making a map of everyone who disagrees with them so that they can punish them as soon as they have the power to do so.

                    I don’t live in your third world country where the only way to beat fascism is with your own list of “undesirables” to purge as soon as you have the power to do so.

                    i care about what this planet looks like after i’m gone

                    It’s starting to look pretty faschy to me either way.

                    there is no place for cowards any more.

                    But to be clear: you’re not calling for violence right?

                You don’t fucking “win” in any context of what your talking about. For every person who you “eradicate” of conservative thinking just makes the pendulum of thinking swing harder to resist what your attempting to do. You sound like a child or autistic. I haven’t decided which yet.
