That said, ya’ll being dramatic about this getting a few upvotes. It takes about 0 braincells to half-read a comment while doomscrolling in bed, and then upvote it. I don’t think it’s worth calling people out for this, feels toxic.
This place, it hosts many personalities that are unable to empathise. It’s why a simple comment reminding people to tap into empathy for fellow humans, reminding people to aim energy responsibly, it ends with this behaviour instead.
It really doesn’t matter for the cause if the behaviour is just as toxic as the opponent, though. A piece of shit is just a piece of shit, no matter how much they claim morality.
But in this case, they’re doing exactly what their opponent wants them to do. And if there’s a lack of empathy, a lack of seeing the hypocrisy, I doubt there’s much hope for clarity on that as well.
This is who you’re choosing empathy for. Violent insurrectionists and pardoned felons who hide their faces, commit violence for the regime, and violate the sanctity of our rights. You can try to smear me all you want and claim I have no empathy, but it is blatantly clear I have much more than you. I staunchly defend persons of color, LGBTQ, women, children and many other targeted groups that the fascists want to put in concentration camps. I am willing to put my own safety and wellbeing at risk in their defense.
If you believe the fascists and their attack dogs deserve the same level of respect, empathy, and defense as the real victims in American society, you and I already know which side you’re fighting for.
No I’m not. I’m not even talking about these people at all.
Weird your brain would just fire straight to that thought and then attack the straw man it made. You didn’t even think about the glaring conflict against empathy that would be first, huh?
That your toxic irrationality and you can keep me out of it, thanks.
I downvoted the top comment in this chain.

Yeah calling out people for voting feels like it crosses a line
