[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (1 child) The curelty of the majority. What do you do when the democratic process results in let's say, enslaving a minority, genocide, or mass incarcerations and deportations? Can you go against the will of the population? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago While there are way too many who want this cruelty, I have more hope for humanity than that. I have to believe most are low information voters who’ve been manipulated. I recently had a discussion with my conservative brother, where it was clear that we don’t even live in the same reality. He’s generally a compassionate person, willing to help anyone, but seems to have really bought the narrative. It’s not that he opposes higher education but clearly Harvard is violently antisemitism and the president needs to do something. It’s not that he opposes equal opportunity, but all those DEI hires are taking jobs from people like him. And yes, those deported are all violent criminals (like in my town where masked SS roughed up a city councillor trying to witness the mistreatment of his constituents) permalink fedilink source parent
