    i agree the "1000 october 7s" aka 1.2 million dead people part is concerning me a bit, even if it's hyperbole. like, we can recognize violence is often a necessary means to liberation without rooting for maximum violence?

      It's a cope. The necessary violence is really hard psychologically, people loop around to becoming hyperviolent as a way to deal with it.

        It is and it isn't. Do you think the Bolsheviks were wrong to kill children?

          I think it's sad that children died, but do you understand that children are going to die in every revolution? So some people, in order to cope with this, loop around to "fuck them kids, kill em all, unlimited genocide" etc etc

            I don't really think it's funny. Sure, the adults are funny, fuck them.

              Alexei was hemophilic they didnt need to shoot him, they probably couldve just gave him a papercut and he wouldve died of exanguination

                  Blame the white army, they would have rallied among the eoyal family and propped them up as leaders because monarchists are fucking dumb, making a 6 year old your ruler lmao

                  If they wouldnt have been monarchists the kids couldve probably been let go

            I think it was a justified, necessary evil, but celebrating the death of any innocent life is pretty weird to me idk. like i'll gladly celebrate the greater picture of what it brought an end to but the killing of a kid in it of itself?

          Only reason the kids died is because the Tsar was using them as human shields.

        Yeah that makes sense. I've seen some people support Hiroshima here in the past and that wan't even necessary violence

      Yeah, comments like that just make liberal psychos feel more justified calling the left pro-hamas instead of pro-palestine. I don't think it's particularly productive.
