"The former president (did I mention he’s taken to directly quoting #Hitler?) tried to overthrow the government almost exactly 3 yrs ago... He argued in court this week that he as president is above any #law, & would have the right to murder his political adversaries if re-elected, & tomorrow he is fully expected to win the #Iowa Republican caucus in a massive landslide on his easy path toward the #Republican nomination for president."

"The tool I’d use in opposition to those who have deliberately chosen to occupy an alternative reality... is witness...

A simple example would be to simply state, I cannot accept your premise, because I can see how it is designed to eliminate people—expel them from society, terrorize them, harm them, rob them, use them badly, and kill them, and I think that this conversation is not only unworthy of me, but unworthy of you, too."

Text from article:
Debating fascists doesn’t oppose fascism, by the way—even if you’re debating in opposition... Debating fascism furnishes people who want to find a excuse to support malicious premises with those excuses. Debate lowers the cost of supporting supremacy, and raises the cost of opposing it. And fascists know this full well. This makes debate an inappropriate tool for people of good faith to engage in with fascists.

The tool I’d use in opposition to those who have deliberately chosen to occupy an alternative reality, whether through malice or complacency, is witness. By witness I mean simply naming a thing for what it is, with no appeal for permission to any authority beyond your own moral clarity and ability to see true things (and if you want a lot more about what I think about witness, click here or here).

A simple example would be to simply state, I cannot accept your premise, because I can see how it is designed to eliminate people—expel them from society, terrorize them, harm them, rob them, use them badly, and kill them, and I think that this conversation is not only unworthy of me, but unworthy of you, too.

One thing I like about witness is that it also lets you witness to people’s reaction to your witness. All you will have to do is witness to the reality of eliminationist activity that you see right in front of you. Because they are in favor of these things, they will inevitably expose themselves by trying to debate you in favor of those things.
