    And there are millions of men out there just like him. Not necessarily the reactionary racist part, but beaten down by life without a social support network in place to guide him out of it. It makes them susceptible to social media algorithms, and this timeline of events suggests that had a role in radicalizing him. Every town in this godforsaken country has a ticking time bomb like him waiting to go off.

      too bad people read this as a defense of a horrible racist rather than just an expression of empathy for other people which, yeah, these people don’t share, but fuck me for wanting to be better than them and for realizing that I could have very easily been born someone other than myself and whatever fucked to death shit happened to make them that way since people aren’t actually born ontologically evil racists could have happened to me

      like for fuck’s sake people have sympathy for the literal demons in frieren and call it a mark of the show expressing fascist ideology but then turn around and go “no actually, re education is too good for a fascist, we should actually aim to mass murder every ideological opponent” like holy shit
