  • There is a risk of bad outcomes, true. Unfortunately, I don’t see a good way to remove the cancer of the Confederacy.

    As to what is currently happening, I suspect the blood of many innocent people will stain the soil of Florida in the coming years. They never did anything to warrant their suffering.

    That is a key difference concerning ICE, Border Patrol, Trump, Thiel, and so many other willing members of the Trump Regime: they wanted people to die, just because. Offering mercy to someone who thought it was alright to send children to die in the Florida heat, they probably won’t reflect on the morality of their actions.

    At what point, does mercy become naivety?


  • The Confederates in America got off easy, and look what their descendants have become: MAGATs. What that tells me, is that the confederates were only sorry for losing, not that they processed trauma and developed empathy.

    It would be good if your path works. Unfortunately, I cannot find the faith to believe in your position.

    The concentration camps of CECOT and Alligator Auschwitz shouldn’t exist. Noem Kristi making light of 65 million latino lives as alligator feed, it doesn’t inspire confidence in the humanity of whom I once considered to be American. I will hope you are right, but I cannot wager on it.


  • Yup. This honestly is my biggest gripe about moderation, because it is more often than not about regulating realtalk, in favor of a negative peace.

    I don’t want civil war, because I have to risk my body and bloody my hands. Unfortunately, that choice isn’t wholly mine to make, because the Trump Regime insists on destroying people. We need to be able to speak freely and begin cooperating together, so that fewer people die in service of a free democracy. It is for the sake of making things less awful, that we must be able to talk about what must be done.


  • Honestly, I do not know how harsh things should be. Part of the problem, is that it isn’t clear how we convince neoconfederates from being what they are. Talk of peace, empathy, and cooperation doesn’t seem to move the needle with MAGA.

    My impression, is that either they are only keyed to self-preservation in the face of extreme consequences, or simply lack the humanity to ever become better people if mercy was offered. Either way, it feels like a blunt solution is the only reliable way to remove MAGA from existence. It is my hope that by making it clear to MAGA aligned people what will happen if things go on, would make them reconsider…but if not, then at least I and others would become mentally prepared to force them to rest.

    When peace isn’t a option, violence is inevitable. If that has to be the way, I know whom I prefer to be removed from the mortal coil. Hopefully, it won’t come to that. But hope isn’t reliable.

    This whole situation is rotten. 😞


  • Considering how the 1st Reconstruction got cancelled, and the Nazi elements that persist in Germany, I think that there is a great deal of evidence that mercy doesn’t work against systemic evils. The whole concept of Nazi, Confederate, and now MAGAT, ideology should go on trial…with death being the sentence if a whole class of participants are found guilty.

    Worked for ICE? You die.

    It isn’t kind, nor just. But this disease of evil needs to be uprooted, else it will spread into future generations of the nation. The Confederates and Nazis have proven this.
