Watching Trump supporters go about cheering concentration camps for children and attacking people who protest them for - supposedly - not protesting loudly enough during Obama just makes me go, like...

...if your reaction to bestial depravity is to cheer it because you want to think people you dislike didn't protest loudly enough at lower levels of abuse? You aren't even looking for an excuse. You're just a centreless void, a contemptible sucking ethical and moral vacuum pretending to be a person, eating away at the very idea of civilisation itself.

I don't care what your fucking political enemies did or did not say about it. If you're supporting atrocities? YOU ARE FUCKING SUPPORTING ATROCITIES. I don't fucking care why. YOU ARE SUPPORTING ATROCITIES.

I agree with you so- much on this!

People like that make me so sick-- it's not a 'whose the worst human' competition, and boo to the people that think that it is

[maellenkleth]

Fuckwits, indeed. Apparently there is a limitless supply of them, these days.

There was an interview about this on _Morning Edition_ today with a speaker for the administration. He kept trying to sound reasonable, but spoke very fast, as if the words tasted bad.

Yes, this. This is not how civilization should work. This is not how people should act.

For me at least, it has a side of "people are allowed to change." Because yeah - I wasn't paying close enough attention during the Obama administration. That's my problem and it should not and does not invalidate what I'm doing now. You know what we do with past mistakes?

We learn from them, and try not to repeat them.

This imaginary requirement of stasis is just another method of silencing dissent. Fuck that.

I want to huck bricks at the cheering Trump supporters, honestly. I feel like we should have started hucking bricks a long time ago. Instead, I signed several petitions, got into arguments with MAGA chuds on Twitter, and donated to the ACLU. I hate this.

I think this is something which needs to be said - to them - more often.

The key thing about supporting atrocities is still supporting atrocities needs to be said to these people, I think, more often.

[solarbird]

Supporting atrocities is still supporting atrocities, even if it's their job, and that needs to be said to these people, I think, more often.

[solarbird]

This imaginary requirement of stasis is just another method of silencing dissent.

Yes, exactly this. And that needs to be said, as does the fact that supporting atrocities is still supporting atrocities, no matter what excuse you make up to do it.

Concentration camps for children.

Just keep repeating that. There's no way to say "so what" except to abandon all pretence of civilisation.

Concentration camps for children.

Normal protest won't do a goddamn thing. Radical noncooperation and civil disobedience are the bare minimum.
