i just have never understood the urge to give bad people the benefit of the doubt

never will

i guess we are just different in that way

i think as a member of an opressed group its a dangerous bad idea for me to give everyone the benefit of the doubt all the time

Maybe in a perfect world where nobody kills each other for terrible reasons its okay but in real life i just have to be pragmatic. threats are threats simple as

>>196468
yeah this

i think giving someone in youe personal life that youve met and talked to the benefit of the doubt is a very different thing from giving a powerful and demonstrably evil world leader the benefit of the doubt

i think people lose status as human beings around 50million net wealth

i mean fair but its weird to be like "...and that means you also shouldnt speculate on if hes a nazi"

it just comes across as a hidden sympathy for him & in the broader argument a hidden sympathy for the spanish colonialists

im just saying it comes across that way when u deny a negative label thats commonly accepted as applying to that person/group

i dont think u actually support them

but u can understand why it comes across that way when u say "no actually thats not true they are not (negative label)" right?

I wonder how future People will. see you tolerating factory farms or the uiger genocide and not giving your life to defeat them. I think for most people there’s only so much evil they have the energy to oppose

>>196558
if it isn’t it worth really celebrating america? and if it is is it really worth denouncing the necessary genocides to make what you’re celebrating? maybe the good can be separated from the bad, maybe not, probably at least partially.

I think you’ve got a good part of the truth here that we need to signal generally what we want and are aiming at but also what you’re arguing for is also super chilling to speech and thought because it stifles anything which isn’t the correct line, because ‘if you believed the correct thing, why wouldn’t you just say that?’ and communication is reduced to only signaling ie twitter
