“Won’t someone think of the dead white nationalist? Sure, he was racist, hateful, and spread nothing but misinformation and pain, but he was also a human. Therefore you should only feel sorry for him.” Fuck that. Do I think anyone should be killed for their beliefs? No. Am I required to feel sorry because his chickens came home to roost at a tremendously ironic time? Also no.
Why do you think that that’s what I’m doing?

Then why celebrate it? It’s about realizing that celebrating violence over discource creates an inhumane escalating cycle that hurts all.
