> Don't let your compassion be weaponized.

It's telling on yourself that you think compassion for other people, the core idea that other peoples needs might be more important that your own, is objectively a weapon. You're not wrong that there's a lot of disinformation about, but from a purely historical view, the one position that has never been right is fence-sitting.

No, of course not. I don’t think it’s a crime to be punished.

I’m just saying I think you’re helping an authoritarian regime, and I think that’s bad.

I’m saying it because I think you should feel shame, not to suggest you should be punished beyond those basic social consequences.
