MODERATORS
And those people are still insisting that we don’t blame them for the consequences of their decisions.
I just think that the blame should be squarely on the people who actively voted for the fascism.
But what if we can find a way to scream at people that agree with us on 80-90% of issues instead? That seems more productive than focusing on the actual Nazis!
There were more non-voters than there were voters for Orangina
I'm going to keep holding them accountable too!
Not lifting a finger against fascism is actively voting for fascism. Yes, the choices were all bad, but one was obviously much, much worse and they made a choice. Nobody gets a pass for gross negligence simply because irresponsible decisions were lower-effort than others.
"don't blame me, I voted for 90% Hitler!"
Of course, and I don't fault them the impulse. No one likes being told they fucked up, which was why so many of us were so vocal before the election. I don't even want to assign blame, instead to just help them to understand that (if our democracy can withstand this), we genuinely need them...
Like you, I was a consequentialist before the election. I'm struggling to stay that way and now I might be a virtue ethicist who hates all US citizens who were not consequentialist before November 5th 2024 because I think they're just shit fucking people not worth saving.
Part of me wants to be wrong. I want to be convinced. And yet I'm always going to be deeply fucking resentful if I find myself helping these people ever again. I shouldn't have to lift a fucking finger. Doing so literally psychologically hurts.
