Bonus round:

Thank the gods we have these brave, pure, online leftists to stand up against fascism, for the sake of the lives of the oppressed.

    I actually barely even have the words.

    Past suffering is no excuse to celebrate present and future suffering. I don’t care how frustrating it is that middle-class Americans have lived in the lap of relative luxury at the loss of foreign life. Slaughtering the benefactors of injustice is not justice. It doesn’t even stop the injustice from continuing. To wish for the death of millions of ignorant innocents in defense of refusing to act to stop the worst of the knowledgeable offenders is inexcusable.

      I once made this point about how because white people were historically bigoted towards black people doesn’t mean we now have to do the same but in reverse, and i got downvoted to hell for it.

        What does “the same but in reverse” mean? Are you talking to people that say we should be redlining white families or manufacturing laws and “wars on drugs” to disproportionately incarcerate white people?
