You're the one missing perspective, friend. Go outside.
This comment is not addressing anything I said at all and can therefore be discarded
In all of this you've provided nothing to back up these claims. It's giving "conspiracy theorist".
Some day the other shoe is going to drop and we're going to have to continue sharing a country with these people. There is a reason this ideology has spread, and wishing harm on them does less than nothing to change that. You clearly have a strong sense of justice and love in your heart. Why is it a good use of time to wish harm on others?
That's not the same thing. I'm saying, "don't wish harm on people just because they live in a red state or voted Republican". You're saying that means I'm advocating for the tolerance of hate. I am not advocating for that. I'm saying that wishing harm on people is shitty. Of course we should ban bigoted speech from online spaces.
Shocking: very large nation with over a billion people in it has a military.
I just think it's very important to draw a distinction between voters and politicians and propagandists. There are absolutely people deserving of ire, ridicule, rejection, hate. I am here to argue that the vast majority of people who voted for Trump did so genuinely believing it was the right thing for the world and that it would help make things better for everyone.
Obviously, bigotry and the like are common among that group and we should be pushing back against that, but wishing harm on people in red states is a really bad take and I think it just begets more cruelty overall. We are better than this.
You don't get one without the other. Hate is what they feed on. Attention. Anger. Deprive them of that. Any harm done to them hurts their neighbors, their kids, other locals who didn't vote, or voted against it, and it's just.. a bad take. Wishing harm on others is just shit-slinging, and I'm sick of it. Reject the hate in your heart.
You think this is some gotcha but it has absolutely no meaning to anyone outside of your conspiracy bubble
No, it's genuine.
