yep. they are the ones whining and saying 'why can't we bury/block/ignore this bad person and their bad comments'.

the people who police negativity are the ones who are subscribe to proto fascism because the underlining feeling/though is 'get in line or get lost'.

they don't have empathy, they just have moralizing/policing of empathy to boost themselves up and put down others, because they live a fragile and delusional world that cannot tolerate difference of opinion or perspective.

the shittiest part of reddit is how so many subs an the entire site became overrun with people who have the mentality of toddlers and start going around policing the 'always be nice to everyone at all times' and 'don't say anything that might upset someone' and fail to see how fucked up and facist that sort of regime always becomes as it marginalizes anyone outside of the dominate group and often perpetuates destructive points of view.

or even more simple, it's the people who have 'empathy' for the homeless but pass laws criminalizing homelessness and refuse to allow shelters or other resources in their communities. feeling bad for someone doesn't make you a good person. doing good things does.
