    That is not at all what they are saying.

      So? That’s what I am saying. What are they saying in your opinion? To silently seethe at the conservatives while not doing anything?

        You are mocking a call to violence in which there is none. They’re saying conservatism (the belief, the ideology) needs to die.

        Conservatives should be openly mocked and ridiculed for their cruelty and violence. They should be laughed out of office.

          You are being entirely idealistic. You are saying things that sound nice to you without considering how realistic they are.

          You cannot attack an ideology without attacking the people who make up that ideology. They cannot be cleanly distinguished from each other.

          At some level you even realize this.

          Conservatives should be openly mocked and ridiculed for their cruelty and violence. They should be laughed out of office.

          This means attacking the people. You are talking about making conservatives social pariahs, having them lose their livelihoods and power.

          So yes, destroy conservatism, but if you don’t have the stomach to do everything that simple statement entails, get out of my way.

            Quit your bullshit. Dunking on shitty beliefs does not equate to killing or hurting people like you were suggesting.

            This means attacking the people.

            Good job moving the goal posts. First it was purging. Now it’s being made out to be social pariahs. Pick one, and quit equating scorn with violence.

                  Did you just link to a comment I didn’t make? The delusions of auth-left never ceases to amaze me.

                    Lemmy has shitty links, and yours got buried by downvotes. Read the third one down:

                    • "So true. There must be no forgiveness, no tolerance, no acceptance. Conservatives must be purged from this planet. "

                    The delusions of auth-left never ceases to amaze me.

                    I’m not auth left. But thanks for the insult, it’s nicer to know that I’m dealing with a literal child.
