Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

Wow, what fragile egos.
Someone keyed my minivan over the weekend, probably because of some pro-trans/science stickers. Luckily the paint is not a concern of mine (it had rattle-canned sections when I bought it, I knew what I was getting), but still. I pointed it out to my wife, she just quipped “and they call us snowflakes 😂”. God I love that woman.
All of this shit makes me want to play dirty now. Preach hate, get hate; and all that.
I’ve been simmering on some ‘radical left-wing’ grafitti such as;
Be Kind
Build Community
Don’t Hate
Love Thy Neighbor
But I don’t want to get black bagged for spreading such subversive rhetoric.
I would straight up start busting windows out of any vehicle with trump stickers. But I have a family who needs fed and housed, so I don’t.
Yet.
“don’t hate” seems like an extremely radical message. I hate lots of things, and I think it is right to hate those things.
I hate it when Nazis gain power. I hate it when children are molested. I hate injustice. Don’t you?
And how productive has that hate been for you? Has your hate fixed anything?
I was molested as a teen. If you walked up to me and asked me “do you hate that guy” I’d be very confused. I’d say that’s very meaningless question.
You think he cares if I hate him or not? I don’t waste my time hating bad people. It doesn’t solve the problem. Use your energy more wisely.
Something I say a lot “I never solved a problem by being pissed off.”
Just my opinion on tho. You do you.
I agree that there are many unproductive forms of hate. I’m not advocating for you to hate the person that hurt you.
But hate has been productive for me. With our world in decline, it is so easy to get depressed and nihilistic, sometimes I have no hope. Hate is a strong motivator to do something positive for the world.
I can’t argue with that. I find anger and hatred exhausting.
Everybody is different though. If it motivates you I have no business judging.
You’re clearly a menace to society! I ought to turn you into the thought police for my brownie points. I might even get enough for a gold star this year!
Honestly, it is the behavior of the righwing that is making me edge towards being a militant leftist. If they are going to lie and persecute the innocent, at what point should they be shielded by civility?
I think when the left’s emotional dam breaks, the conservatives would have to face the consequences for their actions.
