This is why the country seems more divided than ever. Exchanging volleys and insults with people you will never meet simply invites increasing amounts of vitriol.

In the friendliest and sincerest way possible, I'm willing to meet anyone at anytime.
I am not insulting anyone.  I am only calling out reckless, misinformed, and dangerous rhetoric.

Would you support violence in order to suppress left-wing politics?

Once the war begins I support whatever it takes to win. That's not the same as recognizing today that the war is inevitable. It also doesn't mean I'm willing to start it. As I said, I just speak the truth. We're still on Box 2, and I'll continue working within the system even though I know corruption has made it pointless to do so.  I just understand the nature of the opposition and their Quislings.

This has been addressed by many great men at many times more trying than this one.
Perhaps FDR said it best.  "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Your insistence that war is inevitable is hubris.  You don't know the future any more than anyone else.  Yet you spreading the message makes such a war more likely.  We need people to believe that working within the system is best for everyone, or else they won't, and chaos will ensue, a chaos that impoverishes almost all of us. Certainly you.
