This sends a clear message: It encourages white militants to use whatever force they please to “fight back” against anything and anyone associated with “the Left” by protecting and glorifying those who have engaged in vigilante violence – call it the Kyle Rittenhouse dogma.

  • The Right is defined by a political and social culture of white grievance, ethno-religious nationalism, gun fundamentalism, toxic masculinity, and glorified militancy - it is bound to produce many iterations of Kyle Rittenhouse. Very hard to sustain democracy under such circumstances.

    @tzimmer_history@mastodon.social I think about this with the Lori Vallow defense: “She was just worshipping in her own way”.

    @tzimmer_history@mastodon.social I’ll wait for all the facts to come out at the trial. People have to have the right to defend themselves. This is the risk you run by harassing passengers on public transport, where there have been cases of people stabbed to death. You need to cut people some slack when they defend themselves, especially since the authorities are not doing that great a job with ensuring public safety on the subway.
