"an entire group of people is psychotic, so in turn, it is justified that I am psychotic"

Conservatives have described me to my face as their enemy for over 50 years. I turned the other cheek over and over again. And now that I finally agree with them that I am their enemy, I am now "psychotic"? Ok. Well, that can be part of the headline then.

Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. Anyone who defends conservatives at this point is as well.

I'm not defending anything but objective truth. You've done nothing to not seem like a psycho btw.

Sorry I come off like a psycho. Maybe decades of being berated and told I am their enemy has contributed to my low opinion of conservatives. But as long as they continue to celebrate as their hired goons murder innocent people in the streets and throw us in concentration camps, I cannot pretend they are wrong when they call me their enemy. It would be immoral to not be their enemy at this point.

So in your mind the options are either "pretend they are wrong, I am not their enemy" and "violently burn them all alive"? This is not clear or healthy thinking.

In my mind, the only two options are:

Continue to be a pacifist and watch them murder people in the streets and put people in concentration camps. Or...
Fight back while I still can.

Left wing organisation.

We don't have to be precious about it, it's easy to see why they'd feel that way. In a calmer mood you still know it's wrong, but it seems disingenuous to pretend it's incomprehensible how someone could be in those feelings.

it’s incomprehensible how someone could be in those feelings

Looks like you made that up, since I never said that. They calmly said they are justified in erasing their empathy for other people. I can point out that this is wrong. They didn't even bother being specific enough to say "nazis". Their username even implies they want to burn vast numbers of people alive.

lol @ "precious"

I didn't realise it would be so controversial to say "maybe forgive the overheated rhetoric of someone who probably agrees with >80% of your politics but has clearly emotional issues around a subject", I'll try to keep in mind that respectability politics are still somehow respectable to some. Let's just all belittle anyone who doesn't talk perfectly, that's going to save the world any day now.

Literally what the hell are you talking about? We're not looking at same facts obviously. "I want to kill lots of people" is not "oh he's just letting off a little steam"

Oh, you're taking the guy at face value. Yeah no, that would be insane, right? I read him as a burned-out bad luck nebbish who has massive blatant trauma and talks shit (externalises) to cope. Not a hero by any means, but definitely a person in pain whose heart isn't that far from the right place.

Maybe I'm projecting, or maybe taking people at face value on social media is a recipe to have lots of pointless overheated arguments. Tough one to call, how about you keep doing that and let me know how it goes.

Uh, ok. What a deeply weird interaction. The person threatening violence somehow managed to seem less unhinged than you did

A conservative is biologically unable to experience empathy for others. I have spent decades being berated and condemned by conservatives for experiencing empathy, even for them.

Conservatives call empathy "wokeness". They despise it. There is absolutely no reason to have empathy for them. They are building more concentration camps right now and you're talking about empathy for them. Come on. Please be reasonable.

Yeah. I agree. I used to be funny and enjoy life. I have been a pacifist for over 50 years. Pacifism seems immoral to me in the face of fascism now. How can a good person stand by and watch 100 million people celebrate as their hired thugs murder innocent people in the streets and disappear people into concentration camps?

I cannot morally justify pacifism against such an enemy. They will eventually come for me and my family. And they will celebrate our deaths just as they celebrate the deaths of all their other victims. If I do nothing to physically stop them, I would be complicit. Conservatives are genuinely evil and they will never stop on their own.

I hope you don't do anything violent. You're certainly hinting you will.

I cannot see the morality in standing by and watching conservatives kill innocent people and put folks in concentration camps. They are celebrating our deaths. They will eventually come for me and my family. What am I supposed to do?

If I had a way to escape with my family I would choose that first. But I don't. So fighting is the only option I am left with. There's not much I can do from inside a concentration camp. The most effective time to act is before then, while I can still accomplish something.
