Same here. They don't even try to hide their hypocrisy these days. They are purely operating on friend/enemy distinction. The right needs to wake the fuck up and do the same. Playing by the rules that they set and then ignore themselves is suicidal.
Why is it better to let the aggressor win though? You break the rules, you become an outlaw, the protections you ignored for others are gone from you. It's a simple system, but an effective one. And effective has been something that has been sorely lacking lately. Why not apply it to social etiquette too?
I would dispute that people engaging in bad behavior for its own sake are 'winning'.
I can live with Machiavellianism, meaning engaged in precise cruelty for specific ends, but gloating over someone's death when it does you or your side no good is just stupid..
That said, I'm fine with anyone who demonstrably engaged in this sort of behavior having the same behavior unleashed on him. If this urinalist dies, I'm fine with people dancing on her grace. Not random people of her faction.
This is why I don't care about dabbing all over the stupid lesbian getting herself shot
Just to be clear, I interpreted "don't care" as not trying to scold people for gloating over her self-inflicted misery, rather engaging in it directly.
I'm not going to pretend the sad part was the necessary shooting rather than the brainwashing before hand, and I'm not going to intervene with people who say anything out of pocket.
If social decency is not going to be extended fairly in it's totality then I'm not gonna waste energy to protect someone who did everything possible to take it away from others until it is.
I'm also not going to pretend that someone who goes out and premeditated blocks ICE vehicles with secret whistle signals and doesn't care about crushing them with her car has any plausible deniability that she didn't cheer for something like Charlie Kirk's murder. You have to be deep in that culture to reach that point
I agree. Especially after Charlie Kirk it’s hypocritical for “our” people to celebrate the deaths of people with different viewpoints.
With that being said, the recent one in Minneapolis is different because she was actively committing a crime. A better comparison imo is Rob Reiner. Yeah he seemed like a jerk as far as his political beliefs were concerned but I won’t celebrate his death.

I can hate all sides involved. the other bitch should have been shot as well.
Username checks out...
Precisely. We are not human to them. Each death is a triumph. Ask the Virginia AG.
This is why I do care about that. Because I like to fool myself into believing that the right is better.

I'm glad that the only one on the right apparently celebrating Reiner's death was Trump. Not being sarcastic, I didn't see anyone else.
