Civility politics and tone policing are forms of systemic opression that silence the rightful anger of marginalized groups and those who are understandably pissed off by the inhumanity and cruelty of the status quo. Remaining calm at the sight of the world we live in, treating those who violently exterminate people with respect and compassion, telling people who are tortured with injustice every day to maintain a straight face, these are atrocities in themselves. Your ability to remain kind in this system betrays your privilege, your lack of compassion, your ignorance and your total lack of actual principles.
Or, if you do not understand jargon and need to this to be put more plainly: Fuck off, you bloodless nazi apologist.
I’ve come to the conclusion after lifetime of trying to remain civil when dealing with reactionaries the responsibility is on them to not be reactionary and it’s not my job to fix them. My job is to keep myself and others safe through any means necessary.
White people are constantly expecting us to fix their friends and relatives or not rock the boat. They never speak up for our side, even when it’s as simple as “Hey you’re coming off as racist.”
You said it perfectly: Nazi punks fuck off.
