    So is this really where we’re at in society? I’ve got one leftist so ill educated on history they don’t know Mussolini was killed by antifascist partisans, so insistent on opposing the death penalty they’d pardon the architects of the Holocaust, and so invested in “America is always the worst” they reject Nuremberg (which they’re also seemingly unaware was a joint effort of the US/UK/France/Soviets). Now I’ve got liberal feel good values complaining about consent over historically significant photos of how fascism was ended last time it popped up. Meanwhile, there’s an ongoing genocide, concentration camps (and probably genocide), and multiple wars of conquest, all of them under the direction of leaders that are essentially fascist level dictators. But here we are, arguing amongst ourselves over whether the people behind WW2 deserved death and consenting to be reminded of what calls for violent resistance are going to look like. That’s why I posted them, to shock and unsettle people, with or without their consent. The victims of ICE, Russia, Zionists, and the US military aren’t consenting to what is being done to them as I type this and others read it. The world is a shocking and violent place and if the worst thing to happen to you today was a picture of a dead dictator made you feel violated, jfc. The victims of people like Mussolini are getting raped by dogs and disappeared into 3rd world prisons today. What the hell are people going to do when they witness ICE or whatever comes next violently assaulting and murdering people in the streets, inform them they didn’t consent to see that? They are literally shooting children for sport in Gaza and ICE are gunning down people on a whim. Why in the actual fuck are supposed leftists arguing feelings and vibes amongst each other while the people we claim to be standing with and supporting are being annihilated by a machine we do fuck all to stop?!?
