But!  It is not hate-speech or bigotry, because I'm left and because social justice).  Nope. That's hubris.  A turd is still a turd no matter how you polish it.  If one is starting a sentence on any platform with any variation of "I hate..." and then add in a real world variable, then you're justifying harm and are just part of the perpetuation of it -- and claiming to be a philologue is no excuse to explore that dark road with critical thinking, positivism, or just out-and-out sea-lioning:  There are no "good" reasons to harm someone, whoever that is -- because these are people's lives you are trivializing and de-valuing with such words. Evil is evil, whether it is lesser, greater or middling (to paraphrase a fictional character).I feel strongly enough about this as a worker and an artist to peacefully accept <s>execution</s> a permaban.  Authoritarianism, however it is dressed up doesn't scare me. So do your worst.Down with Fascism and where it came from. </blockquote>
