    Do you enjoy kneeling in front of those who happily want end your civilization due to their mental illness?

    No, I don’t. But claiming someone deserves to die, celebrating their death, etc., is an extreme slippery slope that can be turned right back around on you. Like I said, you have the right to say whatever the hell you want and feel however you want. If someone thinks you deserve cancer, hopes you get cancer, or hopes your kid dies painfully in a school shooting, they are also entitled to feel that way, in the same way that you feel that way.

      Difference is that they want EVERYONE to get cancer. They want EVERYONE to die. That’s what poking holes in a lifeboat does. And if you were in a lifeboat, and someone started poking holes in it, you would kill them if only in self defense.

      You want to defend those who want to sink the lifeboat. I’m not sure why, but that doesn’t make you moral.

        Where the hell did I say I’m defending billionaires? I’m not. I’m defending everyone’s right to feel what they feel because you’re entitled to that, and I’m defending your right to free speech, which you have because of the First Amendment.

        If you want to say, “All billionaires deserve to die,” that’s your right to say that. You are entitled to feel that way. I’m entitled to say, "Your kids deserve cancer, or they deserve to be murdered in a school shooting.

          I mean, if my kid was a wealth hoarding, kid diddling, entitled, exploitative little shit, I’d wish some cancer on them.

          Your error is that you’re punching down. If you can find a 12yo billionaire with a rap sheet like Donald Trump, fuck it, that’s a pretty terrible human being and it’s got a lot of years ahead of it. But most kids aren’t that vile. They’re not even in control of their own day to day lives, much less running governments and industry. Killing them solves nothing. Besides, they’re already getting cancer from the waste of the capitalist system, so you don’t even have to wish it; they’ve got it.
