It’s nice to think about things like morality, humanity, and diplomacy…in a vacuum. The world is a bastardization of that vacuum.
We know that the fascists will do anything to achieve their goals. They don’t follow court orders, they violate constitutional rights constantly.
When one of the pigs breaks down your door, kidnaps your family, ignores judge’s ruling’s ordering the release of your family, sexually assaults your women and children, chokes the men out unconscious, possibly killing some of them in the process—you would not bat an eye to see one of them squealing in pain.
It wouldn’t make you feel better, but you’d know there is one less feral pig on the streets.
I guess I am not convinced that they are all fascists. You see enemies, I see victims of fascists rulers who have used their fear to warp their minds.
I see fear in them. I see fear in you. I also never said I wouldn't shoot them. I did say that slaughtering then when they are down is barbaric.
Your position relies on a strawman enemy and a lack of humanity. The very thing you despise in them you become.
It's wild that we have nearly a hundred years since WW2 and we seem to forget that fear lead to all the atrocities that occured here in the name of fighting fascists.
The big thing is, I am not afraid of them. I cautious, I won't let them harm me. But if I fear them, then they already won.
Relating this back to the story of the women who saved the pig, do not help them.
It is very simple. Every person who works with ICE is a fascist. There is no denying that. Do you really think there are “good” agents out there?
No, but in a world where we let someone die due to a medical emergency we could have assisted in, then I am not convinced there are "good" people either.
And if there are no "good" people, then what are we even fighting for?
