I will not engage with your politics until you are ready to say to me “I love myself, and I want to love others the way my community loves me”
- Gitxsan saying
The idea being that you can provide for someone and aid their finding their way back to the path of goodness, but you will not listen until they’re a ways along that path. So yes. Fascists will get access to food, water, and healthcare, but they should NEVER be allowed near the guns, ammo, and political stations that they abused us with until they show true repentance for the harm they have done us. And for some of these fuckheads, a single lifetime will not be enough for them to demonstrate repentance and make the people they have harmed whole again
Yeah i think keeping them from guns n stuff is probably a good idea. I do want to push back on the desire for repentance. Repentance is a fuzzy word and it doesnt necessarily indicate safety or attempts to change. It feels a little too punitive to actually prioritize effectiveness or societal benefits.

fair enough. the intended meaning within this context is the self directed effort toward healing and making amends
