Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.
Just reminded of it today with the “discourse” of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.
I pity them in a general sense and know the way to fixing them is to give them positive focuses for their energy and meaningful social experiences. And the removal of their idols. All the same stuff that happened to me. But reading their comments, in the moment all I feel is disgust and a want to protect people from them.
Agreed. I’ve got this saying; “Always compassion, never mercy”. I can recognize that many, probably most of our enemies didn’t start out as bad people, they were made that way by circumstance. But the solution is to change the circumstance, and that’s going to involve breaking a considerable number of eggs. I’ve said in the past that we’re fighting to save the Fascists, too. Not the fascists as they are now, but the children who should have had a chance to not become fascists. In a sense we, like we meaning every person struggling for a better world back to the days we were yelling at each other in trees, failed those children. And we owe it to those children who were beaten in to fascists to fight to make sure others don’t suffer the same fate. idk, I guess it’s kind of abstract and weird, but I feel the goal of socialism, of communism, is to save everyone if we can, and I think part of that is that we can save people from becoming fash, too. Idk, I guess I’m just ranting now.
That’s brilliant, and incredibly useful. I’m going to remember that.![emoji fidel-salute fidel-salute](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/9a5763af-1614-43e4-ac08-6099f40c0c55.png)
