JFC stop being such a massive dick. Nobody attacked an entire country’s population. They’re saying this is not a singular instance of cruelty, that there are many other examples, which indicates that it’s probably a systemic problem.

You: “These people are assholes”

Reply: “Yeah, in fact a lot of people are assholes.”

You: “How dare you!”

As if America doesn’t have a long history of cruelty?

I’m baffled. You made the original assertion that “cruelty is the point” - which makes a lot of assumptions, right or wrong - but at the same time you seriously think this (Alligator Alcatraz) is just a one-off? And that pointing out that it seems to be a trend is divisive?

Why are you being such a huge douche about this?

You said cruelty is the point. They AGREED, and said (to summarize) that this is NOT an exception, it (cruelty) is the American way.

I don’t get how you can say “cruelty is the point” but when they agree with you it’s “divisive”? What about that is more divisive than what you said?

Reread the parent comment. they were agreeing with you, and even expounding upon your point.
