Sorry if that wasn't clear enough for you. There's no place in society for fascist, racist, sexist, bigots. You can't still be in the maga camp and not be those things. I hope every single one of them experiences the suffering they would gladly have inflicted on innocents and fuck you for advocating for tolerance. I'll be kind to the people who don't support genocidal pedophiles.
You're literally advocating to inflict suffering and telling me to fuck off for promoting not even "tolerance" but basic empathy and shared humanity. It doesn't feel particularly kind, and it's deeply frustrating to watch someone perpetuate exactly what's been inflicted on them. Suffering in no way eases suffering. Empathy does.
Yeah, because they're fascist, racist, sexist, bigots. Their ideas of "shared humanity" don't include me. They're evil, end of story. They don't have to be this way, they chose it and have continued to double down as things have gotten worse. It's not just "different political beliefs" or being misguided anymore and hasn't been for a long time. They are evil and they're not going to change their ways. Fuck them and again fuck you for empathizing with them. Empathize with their victims if you want to empathize with someone so bad. Being kind to Nazis doesn't make you a good person.
You don't have to be this way either. I don't see empathy as a burden or gift to be given, I see it as a source of strength. It expands your sense of self and defines emotional strength. It heals the self, other, and whole. Kindness is a reward in and of itself. I hope there is enough in your life to share.
How exactly is rolling over for fascists a source of strength? If we do not stand up to these people and put them back in their place things are going to continue to get worse. Kindness won't change anything because they are fundamentally screwed up individuals, they see it as weakness and an opportunity to take more from you. That's all it is to them. There's no appreciation, or self reflection about how they should be better people. They like the way they are and think things are going great because the people they hate are being hurt and they don't have to hide what they are anymore. You're spouting off empty platitudes because you're either a hateful fuck yourself trying to pose as a moral bystander online or you're just fucking delusional.
Then you have a good life extending empathy to people who want you fucking dead for the way you think and live your life.
If you're still giving the benefit of the doubt to conservatives, you have learned NOTHING and deserve to be taken advantage of by the worst our society has to offer.
A dark future indeed. You're very comfortable passing judgment and telling me what I deserve. Again: who does that remind you of? What behavior are you emulating? How do you think it might shape the world?
