Root cause of the issue is the fascist state and their agents. If nothing is politically done to prevent them from acting, you can't blame their targets for resisting and you don't get to tell them not to resort to violence.

Another crucial thing is that in a fascist state you don't fight fascist agents with law or justice lol (they will be forced to side with the government - no more power separation heh). You physically stop them and then once they are no more a threat, you fucking Nuremberg them.
Antifascists does not glorify violence, they just understand that sometimes there is no other choices. That sometimes is now in US.
No, you fucking dunces. Please go read a history book or two about partisan resistance in WWII. A lot of it was not confronting the Nazi openly, but perpetrating hidden acts of sabotage. Did individual partisans put themselves at risk? Absolutely. But it was never fighting out in the open.
I am not talking about whether you should act hidden or not. My point is: they won't be stopped by papers, court orders laws.
Shooting fascist is not a good strategy? That depends in which situation you are and the threat level. Of course that should not be considered first but well, in a fascist state you can end up in a situation when you don't have the luxury to choose.
And of course it's better if you can make it so you don't end up in that predicament.
Um… no. Italian partisans learned pretty fucking quickly that openly shooting at the odd Nazi ended in fucking reprisals where the remaining Nazis lined up people in their village or town and shot one out of 10 people as a “lesson”.
So they pivoted to hiding out in the fucking mountains, forests, and very inaccessible places, having people in town covertly spying on the Nazis, and doing covert sabotages of vehicle, supplies, etc. It was (a) more effective at thinning the Nazi ranks and (b) a way to shield bystanders from harm
Again, maybe learning a little of how actual resistance when occupied by your own or another country should be required before people start mouthing off about revolutionary actions. Even during the U.S. it wasn’t just picking up your muskets and shooting, dude.

And: while the plan carried out was a total failure, who is the guy above to tell how to resist or defeat fascists? What does he know about the people who got busted to tell them they should have not doing that?
I am not just discussing tactics or efficiency here. I am saying some dude with a tie is giving lessons to them most likely without knowing the protagonists, their lives, their motives.
