  I asked her why she was there and she looked incredulous. Wasn’t it obvious? “Because Keir Starmer’s a wanker.” Why? “He’s taking our speech away.” Even though you’re allowed to sit outside his house and call him a wanker? “Well he is.”

  I wonder why the author felt the need to place this early on in the narration. As if the reader, from now on, needs to imagine a dumb bimbo that got verbally dunked on.

  but more still felt this far-right gathering was the only place they could be heard

  Sadly the author missed the opportunity for self-reflection. They are right: people talk about them, they talk against them, but never with them.

  Seeing a hate preacher stop hate preaching is a good thing that bad people are pretending is a bad thing.

  That’s not what happened though. The message got amplified by the way this murder happened, and the cheeryness of how many people reacted.

  If the self-proclaimed good guys celebrate violence over dialogue, then there’s no good. A valid conclusion were the premise true.

  There will be radical people like that.

  People complain that “google has turned to shit”. But the best part of their search offering, scholar.google.com, is still as amazing as ever.

  The weird thing is that that’s always been the case. Only thing that changed last decade is the gullibility of the reader.

  It’s hard to assign a name to a negative, as the alternatives are so plenty. Maybe describe the improvements you might like?

  I, for one, like the ideas of liquid democracy.

  I’d prefer to make the bullied feel welcomed than the oppressor with what limited time and resources I have

  Nobody truely is solely the bully or bullied. That’s what seperates empathy from parochial empathy: understanding not only people who you like, but also those who you don’t like.

  your link says that people who are ostracized by others tend to continue that cycle not that people who ostracized others were themselves victims of ostracization

  You might misunderstand the meaning of the word cycle?

  Now being massively rude and dehumanizing to others is an active choice one makes, that’s not a outgroup that one is in through any choice but their own.

  Unfortunately, this perspective often misses a crucial truth. Most abusers have a history of being abused themselves (1). They are trapped in a relentless cycle of anger, rejection, and pain, struggling to escape a reality where kindness feels foreign and unrecognizable. Breaking this cycle is profoundly challenging, as it demands consistent empathy and kindness from others—qualities they initially perceive as weaknesses. This is the very lesson they absorbed in their formative years. They see their worldview validated as angry mobs of self-proclaimed “good guys” celebrate intentional agitation, hurt, and violence.

  You’re arguing that the rest of the party should feel bad for the asshole that was kicked out.

  Exactly! Vilify behaviour instead of people. Try to protect your friend that’s being bullied by supporting his behaviour. Recognize that everyone can be hurt or wronged, as well as can hurt and do wrong.

  In other words: be empathic.

  Can we not take pleasure in knowing vile, evil people have perished and can no longer spread their destructive ideals that will lead to pain and suffering of others?

  In doing so, you’re spreading vile evil ideals that lead to pain and suffering of others.

  The message that it’s fair game to murser and hurt people, as long as you view them as “other”.

  The test is empathy, man.

  Exactly!

  Charlie actively advocated against that

  Pot, meet kettle

  are still feeling empathy for tolerant people outside their groups

  Apparently they are not, as exemplified by celebration of violence here. They only do so when they identify with people as part of their in-group.

  The fascist chose to break the peace treaty and so they are no longer protected by it.

  Neither are the people celebrating here, according to this logic. See the issue?

  Now tolerant people have to work together with people outside their groups

  Exactly, they should! What they’re doing instead is using violence on people outside their in-group.

  or a group of people break the social contract

  That’s what most here are doing. Should everyone who celebrates this breaking of the social contract be fair game for reprisal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have empathy instead

  It might be surprising, but it’s not a limited resource that needs to be spend sparcely. You do not need to make the world worse for those in an other tribe in order to make it better for your own tribe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Homicide changes to murder with the criminal’s intent. Murder moves to assasination when the intent is to dictate one’s opinion over others.

  You are describing parochial empathy, with the caveat that somehow you think it’s different when you do it.

  Yes, as the decensitivation is a necessary element for the continuation of the violence
