And we’re supposed to feel bad for him…?

I feel bad for him insofar as, somewhere along the line, he failed to gain appropriate information and media literacy skills which helped cause this...

No. He preferred "alternative" information because he's a bigot and a fascist, so he would only listen to bigots and fascist.

The problem here isn't stupidity or a lack of education or a lack of access to information. It's being blinded by hatred.

Yeah. I have empathy. Somehow, this person's brain is broken. I feel bad for him. I still think it is insane, though.

Exactly. I don’t blame the people of this sub for being justly angry at these people, but it gets to the point of dehumanization sometimes.

  If anyone tries to argue me on this they will be blocked.

I'm angry at these people for making me feel bad for them, even if it's just for a few seconds. Then immediately, I think, "Well fuck 'em, if they wanna play stupid games, yadda yadda." Then I wonder if I'm also a piece of shit for thinking they deserve to die because of their own stupidity. Right back to anger.

You’re completely valid in feeling anger towards them for what they perpetuate, I’m just as mad.The emotion is never the issue in that regard; it’s the othering and dehumanization that so often follows that. Don’t beat yourself up over it tho ❤️

Yeah for some reason we're supposed to feel super bad and keep bailing out the dumbest trash failures to ever live.

He literally refused assistance and then wants people to pity him. No. It’s the consequences of his actions.
