This from a weak, punk-ass bitch that took his and his family's lives when they lost.

Most modern fascists, especially ones in power, are weak punk-ass bitches. It's part of the reason they like to hurt others so much.

The common man is the most dangerous foe of anti-fascism; as he will always vote with his fear /emotions, the very tools used by fascists.

Notice "always yields to the stronger" kinda like all these posts of people proudly leaving the Unites States to go fuck up another country.
