“Oh look, it’s couch-fucker,” one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, “You gonna fuck a couch, buddy?” As the heckling escalated, chants of “Go fuck a couch, JD Vance!” and “pussy boy” filled the busy train station.

      Because,

      1 there was a rumor he fucks couches.

      2 the administration he’s a part of (republicans) are sending our military against its own citizens in cities that typically vote for the other party as basically retaliation.

      1. He sucks.

          That doesn’t bother fascists. The whole reason that calling them weird was so effective is that fascism relies on the belief that they’re the only normal ones.

          As the other commenter said, that has been shown to be inefficient. Some people even wear it with pride. They’re ignorant- they don’t know the weight of certain words because they don’t know any history and lack any empathy -so we have to make do with what works, and what gets them is calling them what, in their feeble minds, is associated with weakness : weird. Queer. Sensitive. etc.

      Fascists like to think that they are tough and scary. Calling them fascists, terrorists, or traitors feeds in to that narrative. People are afraid of fascists or terrorists. Traitors are “principled” people fighting for what is right.

      It’s all just delusions. Fascists are like that meme with crying face under a happy mask.

      Calling them petty, school yard insults gets under their skin. Weird, loser, couch fucker, etc don’t make fascists scary.

      Punching a fascist can be the appropriate response. It allows the fascist to go back and proclaim about how scary they are and how blood is cool.

      It’s why throwing milkshakes or glitter bombing or hanging a banner that says “Losers”.

      You mock the fascist. Violence is when they become entrenched in power.

        Lol wut. History tells us that fascists get murdered by the people they oppress.

        Don’t punch them. Hang them.
