Does that care extend to the people who were victimized and made to feel unsafe by him? Because when this happened a lot of liberals came out to condemn people for "celebrating" (which we didn't do) rather than ask why so many marginalized people didn't feel like grieving. We're not gonna give respect to someone who spent his entire political career dehumanizing us.

    Of course care the care is entirely for he people he harmed or convinced his views were even reasonably sane. Who said we should grieve his death or show respect? Taking joy in the death of another person is a different animal altogether. Also, this feels an awful lot like celebrating his death.

    I don't feel joy or whatever, but I don't think it's a big deal if people do. Hell, I'd have celebrated Hitler dying, so to me it's a matter of where you draw the line. Drawing the line where a nazi deserves respect is silly imo.

    All that said, again, the vast majority of people didn't celebrate, we just refused to say we feel sad, because we don't.

    I'm not suggesting you should feel sad. I know that lemme is an echo chamber of far left beliefs and I'm as liberal as a person can be, but I feel like we've lost the plot in some ways. I want peaceful protests. Call me hippie or pacifist, but I abhor violence no matter where it comes from.

    I do too, if the capitalists will give up when we're peaceful then so be it. If not, remember you're not the one paying the biggest price to keep this machine running. It's not you who's been taken off the streets and sent to a foreign prison by ice, it's not you whose country is collapsing under massive US sanctions, or being bombed by a military power for natural resources. I'm privileged enough to live a comfortable life in my own country, but every single day I'm committed to end the suffering of all people here and abroad, because they didn't choose to wake up in this system. Again, my wish is for the monsters to peacefully capitulate. But seeing past behaviors we both know that won't happen, right?
