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.
Pure evil. I know what I stand against now, though.
I don't lean that way. Pure evil is something else. It really does feel like the banality of evil though. Like the evil done by people who are too self-centered, egotistical, have-to-be-right-no-matter-what.
It says he's 26. Maybe after he keeps getting voluntarily humiliated by defending the worst positions possible and has open and honest dialogues, he'll grow. Until then, he's just a moron that makes it easy to bash on far-leftism.
I've always felt that the banality of evil was the purest form of evil.
It's the General who orders his soldiers to rape all the women of a captured city because it will a) improve morale, b) break any desire to resist the army.
The decision is banal, ruthless, and the purest form of evil.
I don't think I disagree with that, though I've only given it a bit of thought. What struck me when I read what you wrote however is how the right communicates. The right will often call the left evil - specifically because of let's say more mild forms of the banality of evil. The left only hears the "evil" part - they don't understand the thought that goes with it - and I've managed to sway some leftists when having to explain it, step by step. But others are more true leftists, they want authoritarian government to enforce things and those types tend to think freedom and liberty is evil. I also think of them as the type who would be freed from slavery and then go "Wait. Sure, I was a slave, but they fed me and clothed me, put me back!" -_-
Of course they would. They did.
The Democrats have always been a highly racialist party. They've just been bouncing around between what kinds of racialism they support. What you said is the old Democratic revisionist argument for Slavery. The idea was that blacks were better off as slaves because they could be cared for more appropriately, and that civilization was brought to them through slavery.
Their welfare, corporate, and campus environments are all effectively plantations with fewer whips. That's why they look at rural communities as particularly uncivilized.
