PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I’m going to try to do what I can. (Last one I promise. Just twice. Not going to spam but dude is a big part of the Lemmy community, especially with Trek, and he deserves the help. And to the mods, if this doesn’t fit and you want to remove? Go for it. I completely understand it and I am sorry)

Edit: Oh wait I’m the mod here. Well, I say it is fine

      Not if there are fascists in power. The word terrorist is now the most flexible word in the English language, and that is by design. 9/11 seared the word into the brains of every American and made it evoke all of their worst fears, making it a very useful tool for those who rule by fear.

      What are you asking?

      There’s a difference between refusing to rehabilitate someone and it just being impractical to run them all through the self-improvement engine. I would prefer if Nazis were rehabilitated where possible, but I’m not that upset if we never got the chance to either.

      If my mom and my girlfriend were both dangling off either side of a bridge and I could only save one of them, and my mom was a Nazi, then I’m saving my girlfriend.
