2. Do you think any reasonable person
would see the slogan "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS", in the context I placed it, as an incitement to violence, or threat?

4. But that's not the quote
It was on Woody Guthrie's guitar: "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS"

And i think it was pretty clear in that context that he meant his words and music could take away their power, but he wasn't talking about physically killing anybody.

However, "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS" sounds more visceral, and grabs one's attention far better than "THIS MACHINE DESTROYS FASCISM".

6. Reasonable? I think they'd note the context...
...it's the unreasonable you have to worry about.
