I'm inclined to agree. This man does not deserve such mercy.

What causes a man to be so inhuman?

I seriously don't get how someone could arrive at this point.

Sure, there are ways to explain it on like an ideological/material level I suppose, but there is still something there that I just don't understand. It seems alien to me.

It is what idealism does to a mf.

Idealists interpret events as mere instances of a larger struggle between abstractions like “good and evil” or “God and the Devil”. Or in the present circumstance, “democracy versus autocracy”.

It is simple to ignore material reality when one substitutes their own abstract reality in its place. Or if ignore is too strong of a word, then justify.

These anarcho-Bidenists will sooner nuke the world to glass before they realize that the struggle of the 21st century isn’t between democracy and autocracy.
