can you imagine trying to repent and make amends for this one, and every loved one of that asshole is just as bad as they are.
Forgive me God and Parole Officer, there's something I must do.

Dan Sheehan (of “NOT A WOLF”) wrote a piece about how easy it is to get away with vehicular murder on his blog: https://www.reallyveryhuman.com/p/where-can-a-car-kill-me
I have a cousin who once said that he's gotten more tickets on a bike in Manhattan than anytime he's driven through the city. He then followed that with, "in fact, I'm pretty sure that as long as you don't hit anything that pays or collects taxes, the police will tell you to go away because you're interrupting the flow of traffic."

there was an old redditism that the best way to get off with murder is to use your car and call it an accident... I wonder if this is that. Get plastered, kill a nazi, go to jail for 5 years instead of 20.
Genuinely true! Killing with cars is a misdemeanor.

What? .42% BAC = 4.2% promille, over five times the legal limit and potentially fatal.

These nazi racist fuckheads are still human beings. As unfortunate as it may be and as implausible it might seem, any of us are capable of becoming or raising someone to become entrenched in a bad and hateful ideology. Dehumanizing them doesn't stop their ideas from spreading. In fact, a big part of their ideology is the dehumanization of different groups of people. So please don't encourage that practice.

Your conversion took a wrong turn somewhere. BAC is just percentage, promille is parts per thousand. So to convert, multiply by ten. Making it 4,2 promille. Really shitfaced. Very potentially life threatening even if you are not driving.

How would you want to handle the growing fascism problem because I believe shaming, ridicule and cruelty are due with where we stand and with how bad things are and how much, much, worse they can get.
These are your enemies they have the entire govenment and a cult and they want to brutalize, make illegal and remove people (one way or the other).
What do you propose?

:::wrote last edited by [email protected]There is only so much empathy you can lend out to a fascist black hole before it sucks you into its hateful gravitational pool. Purity tests like what you are proposing just makes them stronger.

Fuck nazis and kkk and southern pride and confederate apologists and white supremacists and bigots of all kinds.
Like get fucked. Straight up well known nazis can fucking die. They are worthless. They make a choice to continue being that way. They can do irreparable harm.
Like, fucking no. Just no. You're pathetic.

I believe I called them fuckheads so I don't seem to have a problem with ridicule. My point of contention is in the reply tweet of "no human being was harmed". I'm not trying to defend the thoughts or actions of these people, I'm just saying we have to recognize that they are people. I propose building a better world, proving those ideas wrong, and defending ourselves when necessary.

I'm not saying you have to treat them with kindness. I am saying you have to reckon with the fact that they are still human. Or you will be doomed to follow the same path.

The ability to strip away the title of "human being" is exactly what they are arguing for. You just have different criteria.

I recognize what happened to them was wrong and shouldn’t have happened, but I am glad it wasn’t a person of better moral character to be the victim.

Wouldn't the fascists even argue that empathy is toxic?
