They don't deserve sympathy, but giving them mercy is necessary if we're to undermine and resist fascism. I hate how hung up everyone gets on what people "deserve." Punitive justice is trash, and I will not accept putting retribution before what's right. I won't defend the evil they committed, but I will defend them if they want to help.
There is no way to undo an injustice. You can sometimes rebuild, but that isn't undoing what was done. The past cannot be corrected, but the future can be improved. All that matters is what must be done. Kill the fascist threats, not as vengeance, but to prevent future harm.
Fuck what you think people deserve. If you can make a person a fascist no more, they can once again be good. However, the only good fascist is still a dead one.
