      While some part of me agrees with you, that this is entertaining and laughable. I think it is more sad than anything. I can’t imagine being so cruel and devoid of empathy for my fellow humans. To have reality be so twisted to think myself the good guy for causing further suffering of people society cast out.

        Their mistakes are not my problem. My problem is they are on my property. My job isn’t to solve their problem. That is your problem to solve. My problem is to get them off my property. The police do that for me. I just have to make the call.

        I have compassion for people worth having compassion for. I have no compassion for people who are a burden on society and commit crimes.

        It’s too sad to stand. The absolute lack of humanity behind their logic is so obvious and so decrepit that I truly wonder what breaks a soul in this way. But as a person online, all I can do is hold a mirror to their BS and hope one day they’ll understand. They choose pain. All it is is pain.

          Either they are:

          • a troll (therefore nothing you do will sway them)

          • they are genuinely telling the truth and believe their actions just

          Even if it’s the second case, I don’t think you’ll ever convince them. The kind of person that hoses down a homeless person, and label then as undesirables is not one that can be swayed by internet comments. If it isn’t a larp, winter has previously stated they own 3 homes and IIRC used to be a cop. That’s not the type of person who has the capacity for empathy. And I pitty anyone who is so fundamentally broken like that.

          Winter is not somebody you can ever convince. A given passer-by, looking inquisitively into the community when it occasionally pops up when sorting by new, those are the fence sitters still possible to be convinced.

          I only wish this comment chain was front and center, so said passers-by can see how unabashed conservatism cruelty is.

            To do nothing, to be silent while they carry this on in some dark corner of a mostly defederated instance doesn’t feel right. I don’t like the idea that they can spew this garbage in private and pat themselves on the back. Judging by the scores, I’m not the only one. Do I think winter will ever vote blue or have a trans friend? No. But at least the echo chamber is a little less echoey.

              My best friend is trans. Maybe if you had stopped trolling, you would have realized that since I mentioned it. We hang out all the time with her friends, many of whom are trans.

              I have voted blue in the past. Had you paid attention, you would have known that. My favorite senator was a Conservative Democrat from Missouri. Ike Skelton. I also voted for Obama twice.

              Instead of trolling, try engaging in a conversation.

              I full agree with everything you said here. But I think it is going way too far to think that they will ever understand. They clearly get off on the idea of opposing leftist values for the sake of it.

              I’ll do my part just as you to stop this place from being an echo chamber. But assuming they’re not a troll, winter is too far in the deep end. They could lose everything, become a drug addicted homeless person spat on by the rich, brutalized by the police, and thrown in jail for existing and they’d still find a way to blame anybody but themselves and conservatism.

          I have no pain except a bum being on my property. The pain is easily removed by the police.
