Kick them when they are down

Like John Kreese said in Karate Kid, "No mercy."

Kick them when they are down:

Before you embark on a journey of revenge dig a grave for the guy you're getting revenge on because grave digging takes sooo much longer than you think it will.

I just hope that the new generation of (relatively) lefty leaders can continue with this momentum before the establishment centrist loser antibodies kick in and course correct back to their natural state of losing.

You do not under any circumstances have to come to the aid of your enemies. If our broader project whatever you want to call it has any hope of ever succeeding it requires destroying the fascists and the right entirely as it exists and there is no possible future in which aligning with them now out of noble rhetorical principle will have any positive boomerang benefit. Kick them in the face when they are down. They would not help you if the situation was reversed.

Look at Donald Trump, America’s grossest elderly toddler, the poster child of dumb and pointless cruelty, lurching from one unforgivable atrocity to another like an unthinking animal bred only to cause harm. All he ever talks about is how aggrieved he is, how unfair it’s all been for him. Woe is Trump. Poor widdle baby, so mistreated by the media.

And then there’s Elon Musk, one of the saddest and most pathetic humans ever to live, behaving as if his net worth were somehow linked in a cosmic database to how much of a worm he is. Imagine being on track to have more money at your disposal than the entire federal revenue of Canada but spending all your time desperately seeking approval from teenage racists and misogynists on the social media platform you bought to surround yourself with their praise and adoration. If that is our definition of success, as his acolytes insist, humanity is a failed evolutionary experiment.
