    You’d think so, but Punks can invite good people because they can accept good people, and stomp fascist, rapist, racist, etc roaches without needing a grand inquisition to figure out “is it bad”.

    Most pass. But true, lots of roaches who think Trump is a golden god, or Joe is made of diamond, or priests aren’t pedophiles, or cops aren’t pedo fascists, etc. All them get stomped in the hypothetical.

      Even if you’re right, wouldn’t that mean OP is wrong? It sounds like you’re extolling the virtues of something like “performative cruelty” as a way to regulate society. The mattress seems to be saying do kindness instead of that, not that kindness is only made possible by it.
