Man, how did #KyleRittenhouse see a potential killer’s handgun that quickly in the dark, and make the life-or-death decision to defend himself? Astonishing situational awareness and courage. This kid is a poster hero for the Second Amendment.

It looks like Kyle Rittenhouse was about to get a bullet in the head from a handgun from this angle.

GRAPHIC: A friend of the man who rushed at the #Kenosha teen with a pistol and was shot in the arm has posted an update about his status. Doctors were able to save Gaige Grosskreutz's right arm. The friend says Gaige regrets not being able to kill the teen.
Well, it just speaks to the greatest psychological divide of the human species - the valuing of the individual vs "the group". Ever notice how the lefties are attracted to Eastern spiritual thought? Western thought sees the "soul" as a sort of fixed individual, no matter what body that soul occupies (look at any Western comedy that involves reincarnation. Even Virgil described Roman reincarnation as involving a loss of memory, but not a loss of basic personality/individualism.) In Eastern religions, the soul is a formless thing, a lost shard of a larger ... entity ... shaped and given personality by whatever vessel it happens to find itself in, and wants nothing more than to eventually meld with the "All" and not be an individual thing any more; and even that "All" isn't any kind of "conscious individual" itself.
Haha, that's one hell of a way to look at Instrumentality in Evangelion ;) Gendo certainly thought that way.
Actually that reminds me a lot of "The Human Hive" faction from the game Alpha Centauri. It was highly collectivist faction that rejected the material world almost a failing, and that the benefit of the collective was more important than all other things, and you could only achieve enlightenment once you have ascended past all individual and materialist things.
A descriptive quote from the faction leader is: "What do I care for your suffering?..."
It's a blend of collectivism, futurism, and eastern theology all together at once. The idea is that all suffering, even your torture and murder by the state, is irrelevant to the greater good and spiritual enlightenment. Freedom is purely a negative thing.
