Twitter made the Jewish lady that posted this delete it for “threatening violence.”

“Nazis are monsters” “I would not be friends with a monster” The CORRECT conclusion is “I cannot be friends with Nazis” BUT PEOPLE KEEP BELIEVING THE COROLLARY “None of my friends are Nazis” “…even that one guy who keeps posting ‘ironic’ Pepe memes, who never really grew out of his 4Chan /pol/ phase, and who keeps trying to have really intense conversations with me about ‘globalists’. But he’s my friend! I’ve known him forever! He doesn’t REALLY believe any of that stuff. He’s just kind of an asshole, and we love him anyway.” This is a very bad corollary. It is an extraordinarily dangerous corollary. When we sincerely believe that we would not be friends with bad people, we ignore the signs that our friends are bad people.

It’s not easy to see through it all but when your friend or your family member or your partner shows consistent signs or patterns of abusive or generally bad behavior or a lack of morals do not just wipe it all away with a “but they do good things as well sometimes”

If your partner acts in an abusive manner but they still do something nice every so often, that can NOT erase the fact they have been abusive towards you.

If your friend donates to the poor but will tell you people of a different race are bad in any way, them donating doesn’t erase the racism.

The worst of us will know to do just enough good to hold up that pretty picture while profiting off of or abusing the people around them.

The worst of us manage to get friends to believe they’re good people while hurting those closest to them.
