Yeah I have friends who say the world would be a better place if their boss was
ran over by a bus but the sentiment is openly recognized as idiotic and/or inade
quate for polite conversation by the overwhelming majority.
You might as well say you know people who think California ought to be nuked. Th
at people exists but the idea is widely disrespected to the point of being somet
hing people says when amongfriends and on drugs only.
During the Red Scare the preasure on Communism and Leftism was real because the
idea that "infiltrates" were to be located and excluded from society was support
ed by a lot of people, you had institutional manuals training public servants on
rooting infiltrates out, and the concept was so celebrated and publicly accepte
d that if you were an actor suspect of not being 100% American you were out of y
our job.
I don't think I have seen that take effect in my entire lifetime.
What I have seen is the opposite effect on a number of industries to the point I
dare say the US was under a Nazi Scare until a couple of years ago (and Europe
has not shaken out of it). Idea which you pretty much have admitted when you dec
lared it was just and fail blowback.
And more to the point, if you were an Italian born in the mid 90s who was raised
out of the Hoover drama and tried to establish some business with an American c
ompany anytime between 2016 and 2020, you would immediately notice a whole lot o
f industries were ideologically compromomised to the point you were only allowed
to play with them if you sworn allegiance to some variant of leftist ideology.
So frankly, if you watched the people who didn't want to hire you because you we
re a Mormon or whatever get steamrolled by political events you would not care m
uch. Claims that futile spiteful celebrations of the death of people who share y
our views are just blowback would come across as ridiculous.
