Socially-Engineered Crimes

This piece is also a good fit here:

“They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist, they call you a fascist so they can kill you” - Andrew, former Antifa member.

“They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist, they call you a fascist so they can kill you” - Andrew, a former Antifa member.

When they can’t debate you, they dehumanize you.

Because they don’t think you’re a fascist, racist, or “far right”—they need you to be one, so they can attack you without guilt.

The label they paint you with is their permission slip they give to themselves.

We see this type of behaviour play out constantly on social media… the bizarre joy some get from cruelty and labels.

That sums it up perfectly.

But if they know you're not really a Nazi or fascist, what is the true thrust of their grievance then?

I've written on this quite a bit but I'd be interested in hearing what everyone else has to say on this one

p.s. did we ever find out what happened to the victim and the perpetrator of the violence in T.Smith's original post?
