proudboys, oath keepers and 2%s, of COURSE they were at J6th. so while I agree with the conclusion, I have zero fucking sympathy for their tenuous position. It’s probably real hard to keep a job in the real world when you hate everyone.
Yep, I’m sure that’s absolutely true for most of them. But it’s unlikely to be all of them. If we are to be the better people, then we need to remember not to dehumanize them like they do their victims. Absolutely defend yourself (or whoever they’re after if you’re up for putting yourself in harm’s way), but no more than necessary, or you will be no better than them.
I initially misread this as ‘we shouldn’t dehumanize proudboys/oath chuds etc’ and was like: goddamn this mofo wants me to be jesus
upon rereading: don’t assume all the ice-wads are pb/oathkeeper/derp%ers - which is still pretty fucking generous in my viewing; yeah, people just doing a job, but also, that was tried for the defense at Nuremburg - didn’t fly there either.
