friendly reminder that stealing posts is never okay. it doesnt matter if you don’t like/disagree with them.

Noah fence but I don't care literally at all about the intellectual property rights of nazis, fascists, etc. Who cares if people steal from them

if you wouldn’t want anyone else to do something to you, don’t do it. it’s extremely simple. being shitty to people is always shitty. believing any person is less than you and undeserving of common courtesy for any reason other than directly threatening the wellbeing of you or your loved ones is bad for you. even then, you should only take the actions necessary to stop them from harming you. you don’t need that kind of negativity in your heart. if you don’t like someone, there are better ways to deal with it than hurting them. it’s also not your job to punish people for their thoughts or actions that you think are wrong. block them, cut them out of your life, let it fuckin go, man.

I think an important part no one’s realizing in this is that everyone has faults and everyone does wrong things or had a problematic past or suffered from some trauma that led them somewhere.. petitioning for violence against anyone is ignoring their past and their potenial for change, as well as their inborn right to be treated like a human

yes, thank you anon. you worded this well i think, this is a concept that guides how i treat people.

mmm i shouldn’t be saying that anyone “should” be doing anything, this really just ended up being me preaching about my personal beliefs in a poor manner and i apologize for that. i also tend to be bad at explaining things in a way that i intend to, so i apologize for that and any confusion it might cause as well.

if you think it’s okay to steal or harm anyone for any reason, that’s up to you. i’m just not about that shit and i wont apologize for not wanting to intentionally harm anyone.

That is literally the grosest, most natzi-sympathizing "both sides are bad" kind of take i've seen in a long while and im ashamed and so uncomfortable to have had to read it on my dash. Jesus christ you must be really fuckin priveleged

i’m not sure why you think i’m sympathizing with nazis. i just think they’re people too, they’re just people with shitty ideologies that i don’t want to interact with. i don’t even think “both sides are bad” i just think being cruel to people is always cruel regardless of their ideologies or actions. i’m not taking sides.

sorry but HOW did this drama start? the soonest thing I can find is about not stealing from people even if you disagree with them but I don't even get why that was connected to nazis to begin with

people steal posts from nazis, terfs, etc. a lot, and i dont think its the right thing to do, so that's why i made the post in the first place. i didnt mention nazis but it was implied. i think its fairly natural that the conversation went in the direction it did!
