I don't believe in equality. But I believe in egalitarianism. Add to that, respect is automatic, disrespect is earned.
And once you start calling for the extermination or subjugation of others – while having a massive pulpit regularly speaking to millions – you've lost more than respect, you've become so dangerous to society that you've lost your freedom to stay alive.
I don't like the death penalty, because that's government sanctioned murder. But I'm okay with the proletariat killing their subjugators, or killing the people convincing their subjugators to be more oppressive.
I don't abide by fascism. I don't tolerate fascists. I abide by and tolerate their immediate dismissal from continued breathing of oxygen.
Disrespect is earned, but not everyone will agree with what you believe is respect vs disrespect. There are examples throughout history of scapegoats being punished for their perceived role in oppression. Hitler used propaganda to make accusations about Jews helping to keep the German workers oppressed.
If everyone believes they're justified in taking the law into their own hands, how do you ensure innocent individuals aren't swept up in mob justice?
