she's a dormant cancer

Behold, in-group behavior

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

In-group behavior is a biologically evolved evolutionary survival mechanism, and is only appalling and destructive when when the out-group is an IMAGINED threat or a scapegoat.

When they're ACTUALLY, OBJECTIVELY a dangerous problem, it's a legitimate response.

Furthermore, the out-group here CHOOSES to be an out-group. Being a vile, self-serving imbecile is not a "can't do anything about it", meaningless biological differentiation. It's a conscious choice that reflects character.

The most non-Maga maga style comment I've ever seen

Uh huh... and are there any limits to your CLEARLY superior magnanimity?

Would you pity a Nazi? A member of the KKK? How about a member of ICE?

Because it seems to me right now your position is either "this isn't big enough of a deal" or "there is NO level of heinous or dangerous ideology that is out of bounds", and I reject both of those premises.
