So I am being called a Nazi apologist for asking why my sort of maga uncle should be put against the wall and shot. Am I not a pure enough leftist because I know and care about people that have been swept up by the propaganda machine, and hope for an outcome for them besides extermination?

It's really disheartening to hear the people I would fight for and alongside, those I consider myself aligned with, so callously and vehemently wish for the death of such a significant portion of our countrymen.

Harder still is to have my commitment to something better for our country than blatant capitalist corruption questioned because I don't blindly wish violence on the people I disagree with. You should consider yourself very lucky if you don't have any family or friends that are seemingly lost to the hate machine, and have some compassion for the rest of us that aren't so fortunate.

If somebody has something better to say that "Nazi Apologist", and has some idea of how we might begin mass deradicalization, I am very interested in that conversation. If all you want to do is downvote me and sling an easy insult without considering what I am bearing my heart to say, that's fine, it's what I have come to expect.
