Certainly, just musing about levels of evil.

Protip: Don't ever write "wife/daughter".

As a pattern, Trump doesn't call out right-wing terrorism. I don't think he really believes that it's not bad, although I'm not sure that he has much sense of morality that goes beyond what is good or bad for him.

Wow, hateful. The wife passed a few years back and the kid turned 27. How you gonna get the health care? (separate bedrooms btw)

Sure, not defending him at all, but to me terrorism, at it's core is fucking with people's belief in their safety during a normal moment. The van today, that was terrorism, the car was fucked up, but under that definition it is something else, the protesters knew they might be in harm's way.

Nazi Germany wasn't "terrorism" it was a country killing millions. And I don't know, I'm a dim bulb, and definitions don't mean much to me, and my fam is Jewie, I ain't immune to the Charlotteville hate, but the two seem different, not in degree of evil, but in spreading fear to peeps generally?

I didn't say it wasn't possible, Dante wrote a pretty good poem about it, just an exercise fraught with some peril.

Where did Club go?

I disagree with your definition. I would call it non-state-sponsored political violence. If the 9/11 hijackers had issued a threat to bomb the WTC, it would still have been terrorism.

Sure. In one case, part of the intent might be to tell people that if they protest they won't be safe. In the other case, part of the intent might be to tell people that they're never safe. Each is evil in its own way.

Is sister/aunt ok?

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
 

That's hot.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
 

Whatever. Expressing the opinion that reforming a criminal justice system built explicitly to be racist will be easier than people learning to accept their friends, neighbors, coworkers & children suggests that one has not grappled with the nature of the racism that pervades criminal justice.

And that one does not understand what happened with gay rights, for that matter.

What about brother/aunt?

If you're working towards a rhetorical strategy to bring him around, you haven't quite found it yet.

You understand nothing. You think you do. And the echo chambers in which you mastrubate left wing platitudes back and forth with fellow clueless travelers reinforce you in that delusion.

But it's still delusion, and you're a kid in short pants when it comes to thinking on these issues.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
 

I'm not seeing much difference in the empirical reality that both of you perceive. Sebby feels that it's counterproductive to emphasize the degree to which many people act out of prejudice and bigotry, and Adder feels that it's counterproductive to understate it. Both of you would like to pretend that the other is saying something extreme, rather than assuming the other has good motivations and might have a point.
