Look if you don’t believe in equality you can just come out and say that, but I believe that everyone counts. Even the bad people.
I understand how frustrating that can feel, but just because a bunch of corrupt right wing assholes would like you to believe this isn’t true, everyone is supposed to be entitled to due process. If you can’t understand why you don’t get to personally pick and choose who is entitled, then you have a lot more in common with the right than you seem to realize.
Normalizing mob justice over the rule of law may provide you with an immediate sense of gratification, but it sets a very dangerous precedent. Where does it end? If it’s ok for you, why is it not ok for everyone? How do you believe you could ever realistically enforce it only being ok for situations you believe are justified? You can’t. That’s why people decided to start holding trials instead of grabbing their pitchforks.
Do you understand what mob justice looks like on the right? It wears hoods and burns crosses. When you normalize mob justice over due process, you help humanity and civil society take a step backwards.
You’re not somehow entitled to be judge, jury, and executioner bc you believe you’re somehow protecting or avenging the people that Kirk harmed. That’s literally the job of a judge, jury, and if the judge and jury decide, the executioner.
I don’t believe in equality. But I believe in egalitarianism. Add to that, respect is automatic, disrespect is earned.
And once you start calling for the extermination or subjugation of others – while having a massive pulpit regularly speaking to millions – you’ve lost more than respect, you’ve become so dangerous to society that you’ve lost your freedom to stay alive.
I don’t like the death penalty, because that’s government sanctioned murder. But I’m okay with the proletariat killing their subjugators, or killing the people convincing their subjugators to be more oppressive.
I don’t abide by fascism. I don’t tolerate fascists. I abide by and tolerate their immediate dismissal from continued breathing of oxygen.
Disrespect is earned, but not everyone will agree with what you believe is respect vs disrespect. There are examples throughout history of scapegoats being punished for their perceived role in oppression. Hitler used propaganda to make accusations about Jews helping to keep the German workers oppressed.
If everyone believes they’re justified in taking the law into their own hands, how do you ensure innocent individuals aren’t swept up in mob justice?
