If you have to threaten violence or incite it, if you have to promote evil acts, if you have to lie and encourage others to participate in the lie...

No matter how much you think you are the hero fighting the monster... YOU are the monster.

@Romaq I'd argue they're only the mascot of the true monster. People like that wouldn't exist if there wasn't a demand for them.

@LouisIngenthron Dude trying to help build was pushed into the hospital with a heart attack seeing death threats, urges to suicide, and snuff video. I am not happy, and I am not inclined to give those participating the "benefit of a doubt." @freemo may have a link to something "suitable for a press release," but I'm not in a position to clarify.

I see too many people being the monster they claim they are fighting. Every time... Every GOD DAMNED FUCKING TIME I wonder if I'm being just a bit too dark and cynical, I have this shit to remind me I need to lower my expectations a little more.

@Romaq @freemo Yes, I heard about that, and it's absolutely sad, but you're assuming a causality that may not exist.

@LouisIngenthron @Romaq @freemo I mean, it probably didn't help even *if* preexisting conditions were involved.

@mathlover @Romaq @freemo Agreed, I'm not excusing the toxic behaviour. That's still inexcusable.

I'm making a relative dangerous trek through a mountain pass in Canada to reunite with my wife. She's there helping her daughter through a rough divorce from a pathological narcissist who, because of circumstances, continues to live under the same roof. I'm in fear of their lives, and I'm not terribly certain of mine and that of my wife's son who will soon join me on the trek. At least my mom isn't dying across the country anymore, she's stable and may go home tomorrow.

So at the moment, I'm inclined to have those claiming to fight monsters own being the monster.
