You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

It is very interesting to me how triggering this little thought is to a certain subset of people. They don’t just want us to be targets of their hate, they expect us to mourn their ringleaders, and my reminder that we don’t have to is very upsetting to them.

They’re delusional bullies, and the smallest act of resistance threatens them deeply.

I enjoy that.

This is just what I think about while I block the people so fragile that the simple act of not mourning a nazi causes them to lash out at me.

(I’m fine. Just observing.)

@fraying I think your instance has already filtered out the Nazis, you’re probably talking about insecure neuroatypical people, including eggs, and people living with domestic abusers.

By the way, neuroatypicality has an hereditary factor, and digital predation survivors are domestic abusers themselves. Maybe the people you’re blocking are projecting and would rather find resources online.

@oceane No, I'm talking about trolls telling me they'll celebrate my death. I don't need to go out of my way to psychoanalyze them and neither do you.

@fraying Sorry, I think I haven’t seen the same messages, my bad.

@oceane It's cool. I often try to understand why bad people do bad things, but in this case ... nah.

@fraying I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to tone police you over Nazis trolling you in your mentions, I didn’t realize you had close to 5,000 followers – I should have been more careful about that

@fraying Anyway, I’m glad we’re cool but my first reply was absolutely not… Good night

@oceane It's all good - thanks for the apology but we're good. I know your heart was in the right place. Ever forward!
