>Downvote me again if you want no problem, any time HN guidelines: "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." I agree, and I vote accordingly.

  What on earth makes you think calling anyone anything is off limits? I'll call a spade, a spade. Any day of the week, week of the month, or month of the year. Not being willing to do so is a disservice to everyone around you, and even to the person in question, who may be caught in the Nietzchean transformation into the very monster they putatively fight; something even the people of Israel may be served well to remember. It's one thing to be besieged on all sides, it's another to ante up atrocity on top of atrocity. You don't get to claim you aren't the monster when you're doing the Same. Bloody. Things. It isn't different this time. You aren't justified doing it, and we've all seen where this movie goes before, your attempts to control the narrative aside. An African American executive espousing abusive workplace policies targeting a disadvantaged or otherwise unable to realistically defend themselves group of workers is a fair game target for being called out as a slave driver or plantation owner. A people espousing the employment of phrenological methods for the purposes of undesirable population control are a dead on ringer for the Nazi political regime circa 1940. No it doesn't dilute the message. It reinforces that evil is often seductive and insidious in it's tendency to convince even good people that they are doing the right thing when by all objective definitions they most certainly are not. You, sir, would be well advised to think through the consequences of your pleading. To minimize the usability of highly disambiguously responded to subject matter is to unfasten society's overall moral compass by atrophying the ability to sense the fundamental ways in which the evil that drove that atrocity was itself a composite of goods to the people doing it. I hear you, and I in no way do not feel sympathy for the victims of those atrocities. Quite the opposite. I have a near all-encompasding moral mandate to ensure that the confluence of circumstances, and lack of accountability holding, or voices of reason that led to such vile rhetoric taking root never happens again. I will call out BLM for their civilly destructive tendencies, and lack of restraint of those that step out of line at their protests; I will call out the woke movement for doing the same thing you espouse, thus ensuring a fields of ignorance and uncommemorated infamies evils for previously experienced to grow and burst forth out of. If people weren't so prone to doing evil things thinking they were doing the right thing, nobody would have to call them out. Evil, just as hope, springs eternal. It is our duty as the gardeners of our species collective morals to be on top of it. That does not happen by locking the ugly away in a box or by ignoring it. What you ignore has just as much of a positive consequence as what you willfully do. The act of willful ignorance is the one great unforgivable intellectual sin.

    I call a spade, Love. Everything arises out of Love, even your so-called "evil". Love is the first movement. You could unfasten societies overall moral compass and you're not going to do diddly-sqat to the Unconditional Love that permeates all that is. But don't believe me, I'm just a Dark Wizard with nothing to lose, I have embraced the Heart of Darkness only to find the Light, I know-see everything as Love, transcending time and matter and mind itself, the subjects we speak of are absolutely arbitrarily absurd, as is Love itself--have you ever impregnated yourself and burst forth like a sea-monkey giving birth? Remember Love.
