I mourn the lives lost to hate. I dont just mean victims of hateful violence, but I also mourn those who lose their own life by dedicating it to hate. We only get one chance at life, and to waste it all filled with anger is a tragedy. It is a different tragedy, and my mourning feels different for the hateful from the mourning I do for the hated. But there is in fact room to mourn the end of every life as a tragedy.
I didnt say spare the fascists, I just said there’s room to be sad about it. Im not even saying you have to also be sad about it. Why are you being so weird?
Its kinda immature to not understand that you can both celebrate and mourn the death of fascists. Its not a contradiction, its just more complicated than maybe you are ready to handle. Redact the fascist, mourn the failures that led to that outcome.
I mourn the life dedicated to hatred and anger. A life and attitude that never softened or turned around. It truly must have been a miserable existence, and not only was he miserable, but he turned that hatred into the worst tragedy of human history. Every person who chooses hatred could have chosen to make the world a little nicer, he physically had the capacity to make the world nicer, instead he did every atrocity he could. Yeah, I mourn that.
You are taking away the agency of the person over their life and decoupling life from the person as if it’s a different thing. As if there are souls trapped in bodies and the bodies are taking actions against the will of the soul.
They didn’t both-sides a genocide. Their statement wasn’t that vague. They’re committed to the belief that every life lost is a tragedy.
On one hand, we have 74k Palestinians. On another hand, we have the 360 members of the IDF who helped kill them.
Obviously one of these is more tragic than the other. That doesn’t mean that 360 people throwing their lives away to hate isn’t also a tragedy of a different kind.
I have an uncle who’s throwing away his friends and family because of hate. If he were racist enough to kill an innocent person, that would be a Big tragedy and a Small tragedy. The big tragedy is obviously the undeserved death. The small tragedy is that my uncle threw his life away for something fucking pointless.
By dehumanizing the perpetrators, we distance ourselves from the fact that EVERYONE has the potential to throw their lives away for pointless hatred. In this abstract context, the only thing that separates the IDF from my uncle is circumstance.
If you can’t convince a Nazi that killing 205 jews is wrong… you should at least try to convince them that their own life is too valuable to commit it to hatred, and killing jews. If you succeed, you still save 205 jews.

This is your life on Western movies where the villain always gets spared
I didnt say spare the fascists, I just said there’s room to be sad about it. Im not even saying you have to also be sad about it. Why are you being so weird?
Quite the opposite I celebrate Fascists being killed. I certainly don’t mourn them. You’re a very weird person if you mourn Fascists.

So you mourn the death of Adolf Hitler?

The life is the person itself.
Bruh im just saying i get sad when people are mean. Why is that so bad to you?
You speak like a true politician lmfao
no commitment to anything, vagueposting and both-sides approach to an obvious genocide
