Everyone who doesn't look or think like you is seen as a threat. You wake up angry and go to bed angry. The only relief is violence, and even that doesn't satisfy for long.
We justified brutal attacks — what we called "boot parties" — on people we saw as enemies: people of color, LGBTQ folks, Jews, punks, anyone who wasn't us.
I'd hear a quiet voice inside asking, "What are you doing? This guy didn't do anything to you. You don't even know him," but I didn't have the courage to listen.
I told myself I was protecting my race, but the truth is, I was
, and somewhere deep down, I knew it.
Revisiting this thread had me going back and reading the reference again and making another observation
You see……this man was able to reason his way out of the mental prison he had been lured into in his youth. It came from searching inside and coming to the conclusion that things had to change……he had to change. What is so different about him……than others caught up in a spiral of hatred?
All LotusCrud can focus on is the information to further fuel its hatred of white men and women……not the hope presented in the article.
Why is it that so many other cultures that are equally violent, and hateful can’t reason their way to reject hate and violence promoted within their culture. Look at the random violence that occurs every day by cultures that live each and every day hating others that don’t look like them, don't act like them or just out of jealous rage and the fact they have been taught to hate them.
Why was this elderly couple killed in cold blood?
Who taught this person to hate the elderly couple?
Some other information regarding groups founded on hate.
“Both criminal gangs, like MS-13, and domestic extremist groups, like neo-Nazis, pose great risks for crime and violence in the United States,” said lead author David Pyrooz, an assistant professor of
. “This study gives us a much better statistical portrait of what such groups look like in relation to each other.”
While only an opinion or comment……this actually has bearing on the issue
Nazi skinheads (or more properly, neo-Nazi skinheads) can be individually dangerous because of thuggish behaviour, but they are not particularly dangerous as a group because because they lack a high degree of organisation, whether in Europe, the United States, or elsewhere, and also because they attract a lot of police and security attention. In this lack of organisation they are very unlike the SA stormtroopers of 1920s-1940s Germany. The SA (who were not ‘skinheads’) were a paramilitary Nazi Party militia formed to fight the equivalent Communist militia, to disrupt their political meetings, and generally to dominate the streets by intimidation and violence. Many of them were ex-servicemen and saw their SA membership as a continuation of the nationalist cause in the First World War.
MS-13, by contrast, is a highly organised criminal gang that is habituated to violence, e.g. by requiring ‘initiation’ murders just to join the gang, and they operate across national boundaries. That makes them far more of a threat to law and order and ultimately to national security than skinheads of any description.
