Changing their minds like that one guy is the best way. Violence is far quicker, more effective, and scales better. I’m not celebrating any of that mind you, but it’s like that - and that’s the way it is.
I hope so too, but they’re also wrong and their mom’s a hoe.
We can prefer a reasoned, philosophical discourse on acceptance and tolerance, and underline it with the threat of the natural consequence befitting intolerant hate mongering assholes.
I hope those people don’t think violence is the best way to defeat the KKK, but instead think this kind of violence is too nice for a member of the KKK
Which itself is a valid philosophy. I might not believe in it, I personally think you cannot afford to be pacifist in a world that is willing to use violence against you. But I’d much rather sit with a pacifist (or someone else who has a philosophy I don’t believe in, yet can understand) than a racist.
Thankfully you don’t have to choose! You could instead sit with the people eager to actively fight against racism instead of making up excuses to let thrive
No we don’t. A blanket “violence bad” philosophy is protecting those who do violence to others. Sometimes violence is necessary and this fact needs to be understood by everyone. Especially with the way things are. Some people can’t be reasoned with.

They’re “not racist, but <insert most vile racist shit here>”.
not necessarily, some people are anti racist but are at the same time against violence

I’m thinking they may just disapprove of violence.
“As an apolitical centrist, I think punching a member of the KKK is just as bad as the KKK lynching innocent people. Violence is always bad.”
Which itself is a major problem

No, we need people like that in our society.

This needs to be written across the sky in flaming letters. (Along with “Be excellent to each other”.)
