  • The voting and response to your reasonable comments are what disappoint me most about the Fediverse. These people aren’t against violence out of principle. They’re against violence directed at their people.

    There have been multiple times I’ve had to point out in politics and news communities the irony of people on the left literally dehumanizing their opponents. Apparently, people perceived as Nazi sympathizers don’t deserve trials, because they’re not even really people. We shouldn’t tolerate the intolerant, but that’s not not the same as not giving them due process. Even the literal Nazis got trials.

    We know what happens when ideological extremists take power. They kill off their opponents to preserve doing things the “right” way. That happens whether they started out believing in their racial superiority or believing the workers need to rise above their oppressors. Eventually, they turn their nations into totalitarian hellholes so the “bad” guys don’t return to power. I guess we should just start shooting Commies and Nazis dead in the streets so that doesn’t happen. Also, the “centrists” who aren’t Commies or Nazis should die because they aren’t sufficiently against Commies or Nazis depending on your frame or reference.
