Bezos isn't going to miss a chance to dick people over. Because apparently he's not rich enough yet.
Imagine what the world would be like if we treated sociopathy as the vividly destructive mental illness it so obviously is, rather than rewarding sociopaths with wealth and power.
I dunno... I'd say that the position, "I view this person's opinions to be such a threat that they should be killed" really is rightly seen to be a significant part of the problem with fascists, so it is a position I can't take, and that I don't like to see people with whom I otherwise agree take.
I think it's near certain that throughout history, the most harm hasn't been done by people who were knowingly evil, but by people who were absolutely convinced that they were good, and that they were fighting against evil.
There's undoubtedly at least a bit of projection there, but I think more what it is is just that tankies are driven almost entirely by righteous indignation, and they'll take pretty much any chance they get to indulge in it. They don't really stop and think about things - they just see something that could serve as a basis for a nice, satisfying righteously indignant screed and off they go.
And that leaves them susceptible to, among other things, hypocrisy.
