This is reminding me of one of my uncles who has become so radicalized by both Christofascist propaganda, and stuff he reads online, that he believes the world is in a "Kaliyug" Hindu term for the final stage of civilizaiton cycle, defined by violence, crime and immorality.
he believes that now, everything is boiled down to "you're either a good person, or you're just a criminal" there is no in between.
and if you're a criminal, he basically beleives you need to be killed. for the good of society.
*Got sick and couldnt see a doctor for 7 hours? The doctors are just corrupt criminals
Your work didnt take enough income tax from you and you owe $1000 ? Well your employers are just corrupt criminals.
Chocolate Milk is $11 a jug? the Grocers are just corrupt criminals.
Russia invaded Ukraine? Oh this is just Putins plan to rid the world of Criminals, both sides emptied their prisons and anyone who wants to fight / defend their home, they're just a violent person who needs to be removed from society anyway.*
Every one of these is opinions I've heard him express recentley.
I want to add, this Lunatic lives in the same building as me now. I've never had a better advocate for being agnostic / atheist / irreligious in my life. that door is permanetley slammed shut. Hail spaghetti monster.
