It is better to peacefully respond to fascism with speech until far after the point where most of the loud voices say "we need violence to oppose this!"

There comes a point where you have to oppose fascism with violence. There really does. But wow are people overeager to jump into it.

I am betting if you read a history of germany, you would probably pick roughly the same point that the US has long since passed as the time to resist openly. Most people do in abstract.


If we wait as long as you are suggesting, then it's already too late


Could you use a historical example to articulate where you thought that point was?
