“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.
You know, I was trying to come up with a well reasoned argument as to why you’re wrong, but I realized that you had no intention to actually discuss. You came here to clutch your pearls and cry “so much for the tolerant left, they’re the real bad guys!”
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.
