re: #306 The Ghost of a Flea

Go back farther and you find the persistent scare-mongering and collapse fantasy about slave rebellions. Which are eerily reminiscent of the Freeper fantasies about how “urban minority youth” will turn into a violent mindless mob that has to be shot down, should welfare ever end.

That’s funny because you’d think that would make them fans of the welfare state. But they’d have to be closer to sane to understand that. Because saner people would know that having ‘your guys’ kill ‘the others’ in large numbers is something extremely undesirable, because it will change your people into something far worse and they’ll be seen as worse by others. You can’t simply indulge your killing fantasy and be done with it, even for psychopaths it doesn’t work like that.
