Well if you'll be conciliatory, so will I, I apologize for being a cunt. It's my default setting on the internet.
The problem with that particular section of history is that the Left occupied that section before they claimed they always stood against it, and it was really right-wing. There is a reason that the absolute pinnacle of early 20th century progressiveness included and avowed white supremacist president. Jim Crow was a Democratic institution that turned the south into a 1 party state.
The reactionaries on the right simply latch onto stuff that's labeled "bad guy" by the Left, and then claim that everyone the Left calls "good guy" are also Leftists. It's a nasty habit that they have to learn to break.
What was evil about lynchings were how they were built into the cultural fabric of the south as a cultural institution in and of itself, rationalized exactly the way you did. But that was done on purpose by the Democrats in order to facilitate a society which used extreme violence as a way to socially order society. Using modern terms, it was a form of anachro-tyranny. It had been a problem for over a century, but the Democrats weaponized it during reconstruction, and given it full government support as they re-conquered the south. But, when it made it's ugly re-appearance on occasion, they couldn't even get a hold of it when they tried. It's very similar to what Democrats & BLM does now.
This was because, prior to the collapse of Democratic control in the South, the culture of the place was built upon the resentment that we see the modern Democratic party spreading everywhere. The Solid South wasn't just prepared to be violent towards blacks, as SupremeReader showed. They were also prepared to be violent towards whites for being northern "yankees" and "carpet baggers" even in the 1960's. So yeah, it wasn't just a simple black-white thing like the Left demands you accept. They demand you accept that, because if you look into the nuance and details, you realize just how fucking culpable they are for the whole thing.
The constant undertone of resentment and hatred was what the Left institutionalized, and it's what they spread everywhere they go because it's a methodology of control. Given the opportunity, they'll do it again, and we're watching it happen. That's why it has to be opposed so fervently. They are re-naming "lynching" into "accountability", and that must be openly resisted or it will start slaughtering people as it did before.
Great read thanks. I feel bad because I checked out completely in school, so my history is fuzzy and only really forming around Wikipedia articles I get interested in.
I've thought and expressed for a while that "cancel culture" is just a social lynching. It's offensive and not part of a society I want to live in. Your example of Kyle Rittenhouse is helpful for me to understand the context/gravity of a real lynching.
Idk if this is cliche but another thing you touched on is how hateful and vile leftists are. As if the spirit animating them IS evil. I might mouth off some ignorant thing or say something uncharitable in frustration, whatever. But I never feel what they're feeling. In their "fight against -isms" they literally want to kill you and torture your family. They cackle and gloat when someone they don't like gets sick or is in pain.
The hate is stemming from resentment. That resentment is being weaponized into a political force, and all the emotions stemming from that resentment are being back-rationalized because of it. This is "you have the right to hate your oppressors" narrative.
The cruelty is a moral imperative because they assert you can't suffer like they have, and they have felt cruelty to them (which is really based on the resentment for others that they have, and being denied what they feel they deserve, but never actually earned).
If you don't live in resentment, all the other negative emotions that stem from that can't happen. These people are basically school shooters, as intended by an industrial scale psychological and emotional abuse system.
