Sure, but doesn’t that make you (and me too, since I actually grinned and felt really good about this initially) very similar to him and US republicans in general? Celebrating the “right people” being hurt?
I don’t have an answer, I find it super hard to not hate the other side, but I don’t think it’s healthy or productive, and it doesn’t really help anyone…
Having said that, it does feel like at least the beginning of just punishment, doesn’t it? I just wish people stopped being total dicks to each other and we didn’t have to punish anyone… :(
It doesn’t make us particularly similar in my opinion, the reason is why we take satisfaction from his suffering. I don’t know about you but to me it is due to righteous anger, he has hurt innumerable people both directly and indirectly that frankly speaking I don’t think there is a way for him to pay. His suffering and hopefully his death won’t be some grand recompense it’ll be a chore like killing a weed.
As for the rank and file, I don’t hate em. They are victims of pointless propaganda and bullshit and frankly deserve better than their given lot. That is what separates me from them, while I don’t give a damn about collateral I also don’t wish to create it unduly. I remember folks cheering as the cities were first hit by covid, I don’t feel any satisfaction from folks getting fucked over like that.
As for Musk in particular I doubt if I got to lash him to a cross that I’d feel particularly good, frankly speaking id probably feel like shit. But well I’d be doing a chore one that I think needs doing, if Musk did the same to me it’d be a flash of pleasure for him before he moves into his next high.

Punching up vs punching down
