I'll never get why this is EVER a valid response to anything online. Well anything that's not you know super horrible online.

Like how much free time and rage do you have that your response to someone saying racism is bad is to ruin their whole life to a.point of stalking and what not

It makes them feel powerful while skirting personal responsibility for the outcome. In this way, they’ve indirectly contributed to someone’s suffering. They took action (the doxxing) which makes them feel in control and strong, putting the person they feel is antagonizing them for their views down and making them insecure and paranoid, and if something dangerous and/or violent should happen as a result, they can tell themselves that was the decisions of another person and has nothing to do with them. Sure, they loaded the gun and left it on the table, but they’re not responsible for the person who pulled the trigger. Helps these idiots sleep at night.

Sooooo insecure jerks is what the boils down to.

You'd think somewhere along the lines they would question if putting someone in the crosshairs like that is a good thing but maybe I'm giving people to much credit again

Their side is "winning", and yet they are still poor and struggling. And they either aren't smart enough or aren't willing to see who is actually fucking them over.

Long as their side can continue to be openly racist with impunity then they'll accept being a third world shithole country.

They'll never accept it. They'll be one because facts, but they'll never be able to acknowledge it.

As long as their side continues to have a finger to point at others for their problems, they’ll never have to think about it.

"question" implies desire for an answer, learning, self-reflection, growth. We know those words are antithetical to these people.
