Stop struggling and accept that lots of people are ok with advocating violence against evil people.
I'm curious how many of those opposing the current trend would agree with statements as simple as "It is a good thing that Adolf Hitler, author of the blitzkrieg and holocaust that killed millions of people, is dead."
Like, I get that anytime Hitler comes up, a part of our mind sorts it into exaggerated allegory. But he was a real person, who existed - and, if he hadn't died in mysterious circumstances, it would be up to Berlin's invaders to decide what to do with him.
And, speaking honestly, would giving him an extensive trial and then spend the rest of his life in prison, able to spread his ideology and beliefs to other prisoners, be any better?
I mean, I don't have a problem with people advocating violence against evil people.
But being happy or laughing does seem pretty tactless and frankly gross.
Death and violence may be necessary in many instances but it should never be glorified or celebrated, simply accepted.
Stop struggling and accept that lots of people are ok with advocating violence against ~~evil~~ people.
