This sends a clear message: It encourages white militants to use whatever force they please to “fight back” against anything and anyone associated with “the Left” by protecting and glorifying those who have engaged in vigilante violence – call it the Kyle Rittenhouse dogma.

@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social Hanania lists an affiliation at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University but he isn’t listed on their website as far as I can find. If he is affiliated with Columbia University, I wonder how the administration would feel about someone representing them advocating vigilante violence against the mentally ill?

@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social Too many people believe that hate is a form of strength. But hate is NOT strength. Hate is just fear in disguise. Glorifying violence against those you fear will not erase your fear. It will feed your fear, making it grow stronger. Instead of nourishing fear-based hate, Americans need to find ways to overcome their fear, ways to achieve the true strength that is needed to love one another. Or at least to peacefully co-exist with one another.

@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social There were no masks to slip, at least since 2016. It’s the “secret” of the tfg support 🤷♀️

@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social I respect and appreciate your ability to articulate the dire situations when they happen. It makes me uneasy that so many conservatives are all jacked up with hate, and that they still have the amount of support that they do. A lot of people are really that cruel, that vile, that evil. A toxic mix of apathy and sadism.

@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social 🥥 If love is letting go of fear, hate is surely the cultivation of it. Love opens our eyes and hearts. Hate and fear shut us down and allow us to be manipulated by the toxic, divisive agenda of the political right. 🥥
