My comment was deleted for being too hardcore I guess (even though it got upvotes, so at least someone agrees with me). But I spoke zero lies and I 100% stand by what I said.
Regardless, I’ll rephrase in a gentler way: empathy is wasted on these people. They are effectively irredeemable.
I say we dispense with empathy. Casting pearls before swine, and all that.
If we wish to defeat Fascism, we cannot be gentle.
Our grandfathers who defeated Fascism in Europe didn’t do it by being understanding and forgiving. Allied soldiers dragged German citizens to the concentration camps and made them look at it.
Agreed. They need to pay for this in some way. We may have to use Stalin-esque techniques to get rid of the MAGAt infestation. So, using crypto, we can pay unscrupulous world leaders to host YT men and women in gulags. And their children adopted out to rich 3rd world country residents. How they’d love to have Lilly YT babies. All you need to do is do this to 1/3 of the YT population, and focus on the Trump voting majority areas. YT people want to kill democracy to stay at the top? Well, then they should shoulder the responsibility for this crime.
He only cares about the people he depends on. It’s not empathy, it’s self-interest. That’s nothing to give him credit for, and there’s no reason to believe that he’s redeemable based on that.
Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I’m hearing far more “My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he’s going out of business”. Then comments on how they don’t live in a big city and they don’t know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.
So yeah… feels like “I won’t make money”, “I’ll lose my business”, and “oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined”.
At least this guy seems to care about the people themselves. He’s still a dumbfuck but not irredeemable.

Sometimes shaming is exactly what you need to do.
I think this is one of those pearl clutching communities. Borderline collaboration, but it’s their power to enforce their rules.

Why isn’t he getting in trouble for hiring undocumented workers.
If I remember correctly, they weren’t undocumented. They were in the country and working legally.
