yeah because using the state’s police to violently attack people that are literally just going to vote doesn’t sound fascist at all

If you cannot tell the difference between a far right reaction and a reaction to an impending seccesion, you might be an idiot. The mere fact that you call an attempt at secession 'just going to vote' tells me you know fuck all about what went on.

Spoiler alert: an unauthorized attempt at seccesion will end in the use of force in just about any country. Not to say that I don't think the Catalans should have a shot at independence, but your painting the actions of the Spanish government as far right violence is ... Incredibly fucking stupid.

Just the fact that they’re trying to do this already makes them violent.

If you cannot tell apart anti immigration rhetoric from actual violence, you might be an idiot. Or extremely sheltered.

So we should let fascists that want to completely eliminate queer people from our society have political power because mmm violence so scary?

If you cannot tell the difference between 'let them yell into a nearly empty room' and 'let them kill all the LGBTQ+', you might be an idiot.

Even if they aren’t popular, they’re there, and nothing’s being done about it.

Because the people with these views aren't doing shit with them. Thus there isn't much to punish for.
