these are not remotely the same things, and the conflation of the two in order to shut down anarcho-feminists (most of whom ARE queer) is one of the most upsetting parts of the discourse.
KYLR is a statement that violence against patriarchal oppressors is justified. There are calls for violence against fascists all the time amongst anarchists, and I never see any anarchists claiming that this violent opposition to fascists is dangerous because fascists routinely say that leftists are the real Nazis (they literally do this all the time!). It's only when it comes to sexual violence, to patriarchal violence, that the handwringing about dangerous rhetoric starts, and to me that is extremely telling.
Fascists will co-opt anything, and they are always dangerous. But the use of KYLR as a slogan has absolutely no impact on what fascists do, and it's absurd to pretend otherwise.
Anyway, I'm sure those 16k words will do a wonderful job of breaking down all these arguments against it, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
