Iโve heard a lot of people on the right say the intentions of leftists are bad.
Itโs mostly not true, this has happened so many times in history before we need to actually learn this time.
Read Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning. Most Nazis who committed horrible atrocities were normal people who were molded, one small step after another, through authority and propoganda, to commit horrific acts and see other humans as sub-human.
Radical people on the left, ones who seem to lack empathy completely, are MOSTLY all good people with good intentions who have been so severely brainwashed and radicalized to believe theyโre fighting an invisible enemy. Youโve all heard it - the right, theyโre nazis, theyโre pedophile sympathizers, theyโre racist, theyโre dangers to your freedom. The left thinks theyโre fighting a literal Hitler in virtue because theyโve been fed this information on a drip over and over and they canโt break free from it without help. The right is starting to think this too, and if we donโt stop it now and help break the propaganda machine it just wins AGAINNNNNN.
We donโt have a left or right problem we have a propaganda problem that we are IGNORING AGAIN FOR THE 100th TIME IN HISTORY.
I donโt know who is behind it and I donโt know why. I donโt know if itโs coordinated or accidental. But I know we need to stop focusing on a non issue over and over, and get to the heart of this for once to prevent even greater tragedy than we have already seen. Stop fighting other good humans who are scared, and start breaking each other free from this propagandistic grip that is pushing us farther and farther again and again. This is not an excuse for the monster that killed Charlie or any of the others who commit political violence, itโs a wake up call for the reality we are heading towards if we interpret this horrific act the wrong way. The left and the right arenโt enemies for the most part, we need to support each other with the TRUTH and resistance to this push towards killing each other.
