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.

And yet hatred is hatred.

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.
