It’s obviously morally abominable to booby-trap the border with razors. But some people think desperate migrants deserve whatever cruelties we inflict on them.

I don’t see in these comments any compassion or empathy, in fact all I see are excuses for why we don’t need to have compassion or empathy

This basically sums up the entire article, right?

But as I understand it, all the discussion in the article is about Internet comments. People often resort to hyperbole and sensationalism on the Internet, because it's an easy way to get attention, and they can talk tough without actually having to witness the suffering that their views would lead to. The problem is, though, when they vote based on these views, they elect psychopaths who try to live up to what these incels are writing in their parents' basements, which is a stunted adolescents idea of what being "tough" is.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
