explicit lewd, slightly unhinged@kix3n@EeveeEuphoria yeah, i saw Reel at one point from [allegedly] the OG pumpkin lover, saying they had to go to the hospital bc of painful complications from raw-dogging it
(but it was apparently pretty worth it financially)
so yeah definitely use protection for ur pumpkin loving 🙂↕️
us pol@cookingsteak honestly i think i get that too, i guess i just kinda figure they’ve already been doing some of the worst fascist shit imaginable, im not sure they necessarily need justification?
but i get why one would be afraid of it making it worse, cuz yeah ultimately it doesn’t really have a positive impact in the terms of stopping anything, all it really actually does is perhaps that little initial moment of some relief from that person specifically
us pol, morbid@cookingsteak and I think u can tell by it mostly being specifically the people who were being abused, targeted, and harmed who get happy they woke up and it was in some small way over — that for once it was the nazis on their own chopping block
us pol, morbid@cookingsteak that’s the thing with magically wishing for the spontaneous combustion through illness of people in positions of power too;
it’s common when the people of a country are irreparably fucked and powerless to have no resort but just wish god will stop the hand of their suffering somehow
us pol, kinda morbid, re: could be argued is analogous to suicidal ideation@cookingsteak because what’s being opposed isn’t ‘the idea of somebody who’s evil and has done many genuinely physically damaging things’,
it’s ‘the idea of somebody who’s evil and is doing many genuinely physically harmful things every single day’
the dream isn’t so much ‘bad person gets bad ending’ it’s ‘bad person finally shuts the fuck up and stops hurting people, finally’,
the fact that it was ironically due to the type of violence he was actively championing (and the extent of which he was almost more than anybody directly responsible for), is just details.
us pol, could be argued is analogous to suicidal ideation@cookingsteak I think i agree to large extent, but i feel like in most of these cases, what people are demanding is an end to the tyranny of people who are literally and directly causing untold amounts of brutal harm and death.
The problem is just that these individuals are increasingly more becoming those with far, far too much power to ever be stopped.
In these cases, the real dream is not of death, it’s of an end — one which is otherwise astronomically unlikely to happen any other way
I understand in an absolutionist sense why one would only ever desire to favor life, but is there not complicity in advocating when our advocacy amounts to hypothetically ensuring one’s right to continue indiscriminately hurt and kill?
I guess more to the point, is it not reasonable to be happy even one avalanche of hurt stopped somehow (even given it may not actually change anything)?
Like obviously abusers shouldn’t get hit by cars, but if you were being actively abused by multiple people and one got hit by a car, would you really be wrong to feel relief or even satisfaction that at least some part stopped?
