I made the mistake of briefly checking r*ddit on Wednesday and of course they had a pinned post that was like "DO NOT CELEBRATE, CHEER ON, FEEL GOOD ABOUT, ENJOY, LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE, DOWNPLAY, OR FEEL ANYTHING OTHER THAN PURE SYMPATHY AND SADNESS FOR THESE AMAZING PATRIOTS DYING". Like it literally said not to make neutral comments about it.
It really permeates through a lot of lib thought. So many people are caught in this "nobody ever deserves to have bad things happen to them, no matter what, period", regardless of that person's actions or clearly stated goals and beliefs.
I saw someone on here a long time ago recommend The 100 as a show, and I curse them to this day because I quit watching on the spot when they had to choose between saving over 100 people's lives by giving up a war criminal that had gone into a berserker rage and quite literally mowed down innocent civilians, or they could not give them up and face war and certain annihilation.
THEY EVEN NEGOTIATE SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT CAN CARRY OUT THE EXECUTION INSTEAD OF THE BRUTAL WAY THE OTHER GROUP (basically played as indigenous people) WERE GOING TO DO IT, AND THEY STILL BACK OUT AND SAY "NO, THIS IS WRONG!!!" Your dude murdered unarmed children and old people you fucks! But it made him really sad so I guess that's punishment enough.

There's a really effective argument against this:
"You're saying that Hitler didn't deserve to die? You're saying Mussolini didn't deserve to die? Are you a fascist?"
To be honest it's just the start of the arc, I won't spoil but there are definitely people worth killing over in the show and who get murked, it's just supposed to portray there how it's hard to see a relative as someone bad no matter what he did, could have been handled better though for sure
The rule creep on Reddit is so goddamn chilling, for real. When Trump caught the Rona every subreddit which spent the past four years wishing him gone suddenly turned around and had stickied "do not celebrate" posts. It is impossible to post there without lying about how you feel.

Fuck I'm glad for this site.
Lmao get treaded on dumbass. :sicko-flipped:
One of the rules is to "not express extreme indifference to harm inflicted against others" or some bullshit. Civility fetishism is the fucking worst

Just... watch the spiral...

It's a guy making fun of this plot arc for 12 minutes.
The best part is that they briefly discuss giving up the other guy that was with the war criminal and did not agree with his actions
Beautiful, will definitely check this out later :sankara-salute:

Except of course it's bullshit, because if you're a refugee, someone living in w 'bad' country, or a black person shot by police it doesn't count.
