If I say I killed someone, do you think that's enough for a conviction? I mean I didn't actually kill someone and there's no evidence whatsoever that I did.
Facists oversimplify right and wrong, guilty and innocense, and disregard centuries if not millennia of philosophy about justice, lawmaking and due process to bring about swift change as they see fit.
- Eumenes 2y agoThis has nothing to do with Fascism. Communists executed people with a fervor. Monarchs executed people. There's plenty of evidence too. This specific case is being amplified by an activist class you'll find commonly in prison/death penalty abolitionist circles. They don't care about justice, or guilt of the person; they are high on a savior complex.
