Do they think nobody is going to replace them and resume the conflict?
It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at https://discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and https://www.deviantart.com/triagonal/art/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impact-it-extends-into-906668443 are pertinent to me.

Sorry, habit of mine, didn’t know Lemmy out of everyone wouldn’t like people being communal with old posts. Found it while looking up the stuff I mentioned to see if it’s area-specific (which it is, the only caveat) and the search engine for some reason has a Lemmy bias.
The idea that a mugshot should be universally unsmiling is a social norm, it’s not a law and I wouldn’t see it like some kind of rule. My psych ward mugshot from the beginning of my dark times is still visible to anyone who looks me up by name, and I am quite thankful I was smiling in it, even if the only reason I was smiling was to try to imply nothing was wrong with me. Smiling is also a form of acknowledgement.
Not everyone we persecute is in a leadership position with high amounts of pressure from the population to do the things we’re punishing them for.
