what is targeting individuals who support the bnp to achieve?
open question | 21.11.2008 16:27 | Anti-racism | Culture | Repression
by personal experience, whenever i've been oppressed i think it has strengthened my resistance, and it has usually been an automatic reaction to futher the divide between my self and the 'oppressor' (i'm not saying that is right or wrong).
what is targeting individuals who support the bnp going to achieve? (i'm not saying everyone who has read the list wants to intimidate or instill fear) i think many tactics (violent/threatening or similar) could result in supporters deepening their views, rather than coming round to a different viewpoint.
obviously having said this, i should put forward some alternatives, but debate/conversation is the only one i have come up with. any other ideas? for humans is there only talk or force?
also does anyone have any examples of such tactics resulting positively in the long term?
(in other words made the 'problem' disappear)
