I didn't realize he says he got fired.

You're just scared of getting fired lol

Too late...already fired. But I feel badly for what I have done.

This is part two.

Part one - Let's ruin some fascists's life. Attached is the photo of the guilty party (cw: endorsing genocide)

Not only did he get fired, he also - after getting fired, so not just to save his ass - repeatedly publicly apologized and supported Palestinian freedom. That is a fantastic development and I can respect him as a human now. I can also respect his university for firing him for that dehumanizing tweet. Looks like the campaign worked in every way. This is the good ending.

I'm still sceptical. No way he has a genuine change of heart.

[-] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

I don't really believe it either. But if people pretend to reform, and make it believable, we should (in general) let them. That's probably best that a lot of them are capable of anyway. It also shows the other fascists that there is an exit available. Accepting the W is generally the right call.

But still keep an eye on them. And the stubborn ones and especially heinous ones are another story obviously.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Yeah agreed. I only said that because we are on a leftist forum. I wouldn't have accused him of lying without evidence in his X replies for example.

[-] holygon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah I agree. I don't think he's fully had a change of heart or anything, but the potential shame that he undoubtedly feels right now, might eat at him enough to eventually actually have a change of heart.

An example - that is of course much much much less serious than this - is when I was a teenager, and acted like a smug prick towards some friends, and acted like I was much smarter than them. They (rightfully) called me out, and while I was initially defensive, the shame of it made me realize that I had in fact been wrong, and when I made my second apology to my friends, I actually truly meant it. They accepted it, and I no longer behaved that way. Shame is a tool, and it can work wonders. However, if I had just apologized, and then continued to act this way, they should of course not have accepted it.

My point is just that shame can actually make people change, and if the person in question actually does change in their words, and their actions, then it is a good thing to, maybe not accept, but to acknowledge the apology. Reason I say acknowledge is that no one is required to just "accept" a person that has slighted them, I just mean in the societal sense, it's good that people are afforded the opportunity to change.

Yeah, this is basic stuff. If you want people to dig in and fight you tell them they're fucked no matter what they do. If you want people to want them to at least make the right gestures -- which is the first part of actually changing, and something all people who actually change do -- you have to give them an offramp.

Is this the first time hexbear successfully fucked over a dipshit like this? I wish you many more, absolutely based.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago

iirc we indirectly got a terf stuck in court, not because of anything like this but we just set her off so hard she got herself in trouble

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 year ago

That sounds awesome! It always amazes me how much hilarity can be achieved when a reactionary encounters somebody good at pressing buttons.

A surprising development

Tweet 'Free Palestine!' then we'll believe you. It is unacceptable for a faculty member to use genocidal language. You dug in your heels too, multiple tweets dehumanizing Palestinians, and supporting their ethnic cleansing. Do you have any Arab, Muslim or Palestinian students?

Free Palestine!!

Nitter

He didn't reply to this...

Good, now say from the river to the sea Palestine will be free

"I am so deeply sorry for verbally assaulting my girlfriend at Golden Corral. Just keep in mind I was going through a very tough time, not to mention she definitely started it by raising her voice and scaring me. Also ive never told anyone this before but she has a serious drug problem and behavioral issues plus I was abused as a kid technically if you count spankings. But anyway I apologize, from the bottom of my heart, that you took my actions the wrong way. By the way though, I didnt know I was being aggressive until........."
