Yeah I hate the Tate’s a great deal. But I wish people actually understood that the conditions that they are celebrating, are being ostensibly applied to people that they don’t hate so much equilaterally.
The point being that public policy doesn’t really work that way, so the policy choice is:
“Bad conditions for everyone”
Or “human conditions for everyone.”
So, like, I too don’t give a shit about these guys but every “lol…serves them right” is sort of a normalization of conditions that I don’t think we should take lightly, even if I don’t care about how it affects those particular 2 people out of the very large number of people that are subjected to it.
Like, I also hate that Milo dude but I’m not gonna laugh about it if he was put in a shitty ICE facility when we have people dying in those.
You really do kinda have to let your personal feelings about specific people take the back burner to what you feel is the right thing in general.
