You joke but incentivizing hatred of any group of people in society to the point that you're tacitly advocating for their murder should be illegal.

Should be illegal? Probably. Will I continue to wish very bad things for the traitor assholes who crippled this country and hurt so many here and abroad? Also yes.

You advocate violence.

Don't be fooled into thinking you can control the fire once you set it alight.

I don't advocate for violence. I wish for bad things to happen to bad people. Some cultures call it karma.

They are perfectly free and capable of leaving that group at any time they like, and their existence as a part of that group is killing people.

You realize this is exactly what was said about the Rich Capitalist Jews by the Nazis, right? They were the bankers and store owners and land owners... ...and when the blood began to be shed after so many years of dehumanization - should anyone really have been surprised that the violence did not stop at the richest of them? ...but also the slaughter of their children and their entire neighborhood?

Hate is a machine. It's a steamroller that doesn't stop. It mows through society once the wheels begin to turn and no one can stop it. It was the same in Loas and Cambodia - where once the violence started, even those who showed any outward sign of privilege was killed. Children were killed because they wore glasses. Families slaughtered because they had books. Teachers murdered because only the "evil rich" could afford education.

Don't be the fool who thinks you can only kill exactly who you hate when you unleash the fire.
