RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Today I did it. I tried one last time to get through to him. He's a Jew. I showed him a verse from the bible (Leviticus 19:33) that says to relate to a foreigner like one of your own, as we were foreigners in egypt. He doesn't care, tried to make up semantics about why It doesn't mean that.

I showed him pictures of the Everglades Concentration Camp and how they're selling merchandise, and how this is what the Nazis started with. He called me a hysterical lefty and told me "you must be the most pleasant person in the room and know everything".

I blocked him after that. It crushes me to block one of the pillars of my life from my childhood, but I can't associate with a fucking hypocrite or a fucking nazi supporter. He's 60, when they cut medicare for him, I hope my sister is ready to go bankrupt paying for his medical care, because he voted for this, not me.

Don't just ignore him. Extinguish him

You have to make these 'people' feel pain to make them understand. Some people have to be subjugated, personally, before they can understand empathy and remorse for another. It's fucked up, kind of like country fried Stockholm syndrome

Unless their dad is Ted Cruise, this feels like an overreaction

He’s not. (CW: advocacy of stochastic terrorism)

His solution to everything is mass murder of Republican voters. It’s very personal to him, something to do with his mother (he deleted that comment when I called him out and I can’t remember the details).

Regardless he apparently still goes around advocating mass terrorism with impunity and I can’t imagine why.

what a fucked up response

The lack of Medicare will do that eventually. He lives in a deep red state, so.

His job is also in the health industry, so that probably will go wrong as well.
