I’d suggest considering empathy once you get past the anger, their former selves would be equally repulsed by their behavior, and for many I expect their current selves feel similarly despite their lack of control. The villains here aren’t the broken people.

First search returned a Reddit post describing it as “Ruqqus was a "free speech" website. You were totally safe to say whatever you wanted there as long as you weren't a liberal or a Jew”

Nuclear arms and fentanyl come to mind as worse

It’s fine that a secondary consequence is them showing their foolish hand; I’ll give you that, but this not normal and should not just be absorbed as though it’s normal and that’s just what we call it now
