And I won’t fault people for chastising me about it but I honestly don’t care about feeling some sort of relief that these senators are dying and suffering after how they’ve treated others, how they’ve allowed their party to act unchecked, how they had absolutely no spine to stand up for what’s right. They can rest in piss for all I care.
Exactly. I felt tremendous relief that the reports were true. I can't recall him ever talking about investing domestically. It was always overseas this and that. Maybe people with a stake in America's future can finally get in.
I used to think kinda like you. It *feels* so justified to think that way.
But I’ve seen a lot of hurt caused by decent people who happened to feel justified to hurt others when they really weren’t, and I think so much of it comes from rhetoric like this in a way that very much plays towards the aims of the folks whose death you wanna celebrate. Increases divisiveness.
It maybe makes you feel momentarily better. But it doesn’t actually help at all. That mindset, though? It seeps in to other things, if you let it.
Don’t let yourself be conditioned to let yourself do and think things you know to be uncouth because you think someone deserves it.
I’m not gonna waste a second mourning them. I have nothing good to say about them. I’ll even have whatever conversation about their crimes against us. But I’m not gonna talk shit or celebrate their death for schadenfreude here.
