    100%, this video mostly goes into how fascism requires violent men to sustain it, and so violent men it will create through isolation and harmful propaganda. it’s basically positive feedback loop where as fascism gains more ground, it isolates us more, making it easier to make men feel lonely and like they’re failures, and that the system doesn’t work, but instead of trying to make the system work by embracing a new view, they instead move from violence to hyperviolence.

    the video basically both agrees with you, and at the same time makes a compelling argument that all the people killing us right now are sad pathetic losers whose daddies never loved them, and they see no avenue to a better tomorrow so they do… this

      That’s basically why I’ve moved from a “f them , they get what they deserve” to trying to establish dialogue that offers a path to redemption/atonement. If the person demonstrates no good faith and continues to attack, boundaries must be set and enforced. When good faith is demonstrated, we try again. If they revert to abhorrent behavior, we set former and more extensive boundaries. If they are straight up belligerent/dangerous, we segregate and rehabilitate/re-educate humanely, and attempt reintegration. Capitalism is not the system for that. It’s time to try socialism.
