    True, still, we should attempt to hold them accountable for their advocation of political violence. Because this is what it is, government sanctioned political violence here.

      Oh, absolutely. Unfortunately, that’s largely impossible, which is why we’re seeing actual violence now. Whether it’s from the far right or not. Society has unfortunately failed its part of the social contract. It shouldn’t be socially acceptable for people to be openly and proudly nationalist or fascist. Yet, here we are. Even the joke of the so-called left-wing media is whitewashing the monster’s legacy. Firing employees who merely pointed out the controversy and hate he stoked. The bastard was still in the middle of dog whistling, the moment his neck was torn open. A bullet should never be the tool used to silence anyone.

      The fascists have destroyed all the proper tools, and you’re right. But they’re not just advocating for political violence. They’re already committing it. They are the largest part of government at this point. And they have the monopoly on violence. Until society decides that’s unacceptable. There will be no accountability, no justice. Bullets will be the only effective tool. Which should terrify everyone.
