“I grew up poor and made it” is celebrating the fact you are a statistical anomaly, and likely exploited many on your way up.

What is wrong you? How is this similar to “I grew up conservative & didn’t massacre anti-racist protesters”?

You literally do not have to sympathize with white supremacists as they massacre people. I promise.

It’s the exact same argument in the form of: “I figured things out, so I feel no sympathy for anyone who didn’t.” Alternately, “I grew up in an environment I was able to escape, and fuck anyone who wasn’t able to.”

He’s literally a child.

You can think he should get the book thrown at him, you can think it would have been better if he had been gunned down on the spot, and you can simultaneously think it’s a tragedy that a literal child wasted his life because he grew up around chuds.

That’s the whole fucking point of “which side are you on?” We live in a world of exploitation and terror. I do not have sympathy for people who go to war to protect it.

Should I have sympathy for scabs because they “grew up in an environment which made them hostile to working class solidarity”? Should I have sympathy for slave-owners because “they grew up in an environment where owning humans was normalized”?

What the fuck?

You do understand that we in a world plagued by tragedy? The tragedies you choose to center speaks volumes. Yes, it’s horrible that Nazi families are training their child to slaughter anti-racist protesters. They are slaughtering anti-racist protesters. I do not give a shit about the Nazi terrorist doing the killings.

Again: he’s literally a child. He’s 17. By all accounts his brain is a few years from being fully developed. You can’t be (rightly) upset about something like the military recruiting 17-year-olds and then turn around and have absolutely zero sympathy for a 17-year-old who gets talked into toting around a gun and shooting someone. That’s incoherent.

The tragedies you choose to center speaks volumes.

Who’s centering this?

He’s literally a Nazi murderer. Besides, it’s not like his victims didn’t have families. Maybe children.
