    Lol holy shit 5 innocent people were killed a hundred years ago and you’re throwing around “people I used to think of as comrades” because we’re not clutching pearls hard enough over it.

    What a ridiculous thing to care about. Do you support revolution? You realize that lots of innocent people would die in a conflict like that, right? Way more than 5, I can tell you that! Revolution is not a dinner party.

    I’m sorry that I don’t consider the lives of royals to be worth more than other people. Kill the lib in your head.

      “lol, you actually care about innocent people? What a rube! What a LIB!”

      And no, I don’t give a shit what you clutch pearls about - I mean, I would have thought someone interested in liberation would give a shit about human beings, but maybe that was naive of me - I’m said the “former comrades” thing because I expect the people I consider comrades not to support murdering the children simply because those children were born to their (and my) class enemies.

      And get the fuck out of here with your “ooooooooh, but that’s ReVoLuTiOnN!!” schtick. You’re like the fucking reactionaries talking about those woke tankies for being upset by the “collateral damage” of all those Iraqi civilians. Oh boo hoo, innocent people. Who gives a shit about them, right? That’s just WAR. Yeah, no shit people die in war, but you pretending that that’s the same as there being innocent people who are your prisoners and are defenseless, literally children who at your mercy and then choosing to shoot them… That kind of false equivalency and gross disregard for innocent people truly is beyond the pale.

      Kill the reactionary chud in YOUR head.

      So yes, fuck you. You are no comrade of mine, just as no apologists for bigotry, SA, fascism, or in this case, child murder, are. It’s like that Che quote “if you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.” Well, you clearly aren’t because you clearly don’t give a shit about injustice, so long as it’s perpetrated by those you deem to be on your side.
