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.
