     @aral if you put a rapist in jail, you are not the nice one for him. 🤷

     @mantis Yes, fuck neutrality. Also, fuck land mines. And fuck conflating the two.

     Avoiding being "terrible" towards the "terrible" people only serves those "terrible" people. Neutrality under the status quo only serves the oppressor. The hungry can't go on a hunger strike. This sentiment of not fighting back, or inaction towards the systemic violence only serves one's selfishness and moral superiority; the "I don't wanna seem terrible" at the expense of the oppressed and extraploited masses. Reality is that the EU is a puppet of the US, and will continue to roll out fascism once the rates of profits start to fall.
