    I just don’t understand the mentality of telling someone you’re blocking them either. If they’re a troll, you’re just going to make them feel smug about having pissed you off. If they’re engaging in good faith, it makes you look like the asshole.

    Like… What would they gain by telling you they’re blocking you?

      I dunno. Honestly this whole chain is so bizarre I’m wondering if they’re ok.

      Besides, if joking about fascism is so bad then why is Charlie Chaplin regularly credited with torpedoing Hitler’s mystique? I think it’s honestly a civic duty to mock authoritarians. Shit, any person in a position of power should be mocked to varying degrees
