This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.

The US is beyond saving. Fuck this place. I don’t care what it takes, we need a revolution, and conservatives need to be annihilated. Tarred and fucking feathered.

Christians, through history, loved stoning anyone who did not agree with them or follow their beliefs. I think it would be ironic if they ended up on the other end of this.

But truthfully, I think just permanently removing their ability to have any effect on the world we live in, by their speech, money, action, position, etc, as quickly as humanly possible is far more important than just carrying out old fashioned punishments for catharsis. We all just need them gone.

That would just feed their persecution fetish

Who cares?

So will giving them everything. Dumb to cater to the delusions of others.

So what? Society shouldn't have to indulge their untreated mental illness.

I'm not saying to avoid it, fuck em, but it's basically their kink

So it's win-win!

Nothing matters in this country aside from how much wealth you generate or spend at the moment. Doesn't matter how good or bad you are. Ethics are frowned upon. How much money you can spend or generate for others is the only factor. We are an experiment in how far largely unrelated capitalism can be pushed. The only fix for this is an absolute societal collapse.

So: education, agitation, and mobilization are off the table then eh?

Off to the purge are we? I wonder if highly effective propaganda has anything to do with just giving up before you try?

Right there with you

Annihilated is a little strong. When are you starting this civil war of yours?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Was it too strong to annihilate the Nazis? Rather than assume they'll go die unilaterally, it might be more constructive to discuss how we can act as a group.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are calling for the mass slaughter of millions. Maybe ask yourself a few questions before going ahead with your plans.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you think it was too strong to annihilate the Nazis?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you saying all conservatives are nazis?

You literally called for the same thing the Nazis did to jews and others in WW2 to be done to all conservatives.

Maybe touch grass a little, I know I don't enough, so maybe I will today. Have a good life and try to respect it until it doesn't respect you.

You're kinda acting like someone who thinks it was too strong to annihilate the Nazis.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And you are acting like a nazi. So there is that.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

That's called the paradox of tolerance
