Timber Rattler: “Collaborators tend to get what’s coming to them. Go watch Red Dawn.” [Photo of a firing squad execution here]
DDFD: “Are you accusing FR posters who dispute your narrative ‘collaborators’ who deserve punishment? How far are you willing to go?”
{{{Timber Rattler posted a picture to Travis McGee of >>Nazi collaborators being executed.<< }}}
I cc’d Jim Robinson, but Timber Rattler’s insane “execute Nazi collaborators” death threat was soon gone:
“Comment #41 Removed by Moderator”
I’m still not aware of Congress declaring war on Russia, yet, so I’m a bit unsure about the “let’s execute collaborators” bit.
I thought about flagging TR’s “Collaborators” post for abuse but wasn’t sure he really meant that posters deserved punishment appropriate for “traitors” and what that would be. Biden seems to have inspired some fools with his speech about MAGA “extremists.” Funny how tricky it is to know what is dangerous or harmful. Maybe Elon musk will have to face that question if he buys twitter.
So, the thread segued into “collaborators” in eastern Ukraine, who were allegedly summarily executed. Collaborators are one’s fellow-countrymen who have sided with the country’s enemies, ESPECIALLY during time of war.
Timber Rattler said that collaborators “get what’s coming to them,” and posted a picture from the movie Red Dawn. Well, historically collaborators HAVE BEEN harshly dealt with (WWII has scores of examples).
Then, someone named DDFD jumps in and asks if — I assume it’s Timber Rattler — is accusing FR posters who dispute his narrative of being “collaborators” who deserve punishment. And apparently Timber Rattler posted a picture to you of Nazi collaborators being executed.
Is that it?
The way I read all this, Timber Rattler is just saying collaborators are dealt with very harshly, and he used as an example Nazi collaborators during WWII. It is true that collaborators are treated harshly; it has ALWAYS been true.
But what I’m not seeing is where Timber Rattler said YOU were a collaborator, and that YOU deserved execution.
I assume you are a US citizen, so absent the US being at war, and you siding with the country with which the US is at war, you don’t even meet the definition of a collaborator.
Sounds to me like you have — yet, once again — assumed facts not in evidence, jumped to conclusions, and rushed to judgment.
