    It’s a fun thing to say, I’m sure. But it honestly upsets me to see others so willingly and happily wish death upon others. I don’t actually wish death on anyone, it’s just a sad and unfortunate necessity because oppressors like Israel and the US make it the only means of self-defence.

      i agree the “1000 october 7s” aka 1.2 million dead people part is concerning me a bit, even if it’s hyperbole. like, we can recognize violence is often a necessary means to liberation without rooting for maximum violence?

        Yeah, comments like that just make liberal psychos feel more justified calling the left pro-hamas instead of pro-palestine. I don’t think it’s particularly productive.

        It’s a cope. The necessary violence is really hard psychologically, people loop around to becoming hyperviolent as a way to deal with it.
