Man who voted for Leopards Eating Faces party devastated after leopard eats his face.
"I voted for the racism, not for it to affect me personally!"
worse, devastated that the leopards are the faces of people he exploits, and that will cost him money
NPC autoreply shit cheapens what’s happening here.
What's happening here cheapens what's happening here. I guarantee this guy will still vote Republican next election. Maybe not Trump specifically, but I guarantee he won't be voting for a Democrat. This isn't a news story, it's the entirely predictable outcome. Republicans never care about something until it impacts them directly, but even when it does they don't change their behavior.
Then stop doing it
Sounds like someone is having the day they voted for.
But also fuck him for making me have the day he voted for, more broadly speaking.
He heard Trump describing migrants as criminals and asylum seekers as frauds and thought that couldn't possibly be describing his workers, who are not criminals or frauds.
He didn't stop to consider that the characterization was a lie.
At least this guy seems to care about the people themselves. He's still a dumbfuck but not irredeemable.
My comment was deleted for being too hardcore I guess (even though it got upvotes, so at least someone agrees with me). But I spoke zero lies and I 100% stand by what I said.
Regardless, I’ll rephrase in a gentler way: empathy is wasted on these people. They are effectively irredeemable.
I say we dispense with empathy. Casting pearls before swine, and all that.
If we wish to defeat Fascism, we cannot be gentle.
Our grandfathers who defeated Fascism in Europe didn’t do it by being understanding and forgiving. Allied soldiers dragged German citizens to the concentration camps and made them look at it.
Sometimes shaming is exactly what you need to do.
Agreed. They need to pay for this in some way. We may have to use Stalin-esque techniques to get rid of the MAGAt infestation. So, using crypto, we can pay unscrupulous world leaders to host YT men and women in gulags. And their children adopted out to rich 3rd world country residents. How they’d love to have Lilly YT babies. All you need to do is do this to 1/3 of the YT population, and focus on the Trump voting majority areas. YT people want to kill democracy to stay at the top? Well, then they should shoulder the responsibility for this crime.
He only cares about the people he depends on. It's not empathy, it's self-interest. That's nothing to give him credit for, and there's no reason to believe that he's redeemable based on that.
Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I'm hearing far more "My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he's going out of business". Then comments on how they don't live in a big city and they don't know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.
So yeah... feels like "I won't make money", "I'll lose my business", and "oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined".
