I think everyone needs a reminder that fascists don't need "an excuse" to do fascist violence. Fascists do fascist violence when given opportunity, not when given pretext.

This is not some "start" to political violence. The fascists are already doing fascist violence, and have been for quite some time.

They will likely claim it as their reason for new violence, yes, but you shouldn't take fascists at their word. That would be a gravely dangerous misunderstanding of fascist behaviour.

When people think of direct action, the mind often goes to anarchists in bloc doing cool acts of sabotage. And that's an example, yes.

But direct action just means that you're acting directly to accomplish something. You're not begging, you're not bargaining, you're not voting in favour, you're just doing it. It's much simpler, and it's a lot more effective than the gaggle of intermediaries want you to realize.

Go do the thing.
