NEW YORK — It’s no laughing matter when it comes to how Jerry Seinfeld feels about what he seemingly believes is the lesser of two evils. During a Duke University event on Tuesday, the Emmy-winning comedian compared the Free Palestine movement to the Ku Klux Klan. He even went so far as to say that people who use the phrase “Free Palestine” are worse than the white supremacist group. Seinfeld ...
I don’t know much about Nick Fuentes either, other than what I already said (and that thing with that lady knocking on his door and him tazing her), but I don’t think 2 has to be the ultimate goal to believe one. That’s just where stripping away humanity (regardless of original intention) can always lead.
Like individuals have their own experiences and biases that lead them to beliefs, but when the bias of individuals starts being turned into policy and law, it means that a larger group is now helping to carry out those actions against others.
Think about it like joining the army and being sent to a war even if you don’t agree with your reasons for being there. There are some people that join the army bc they want to fight and kill, but I’ve known a lot of genuinely good people that joined the army at 18 bc they felt like that was their only option at the time, or bc they really thought they could help people by joining.
Not everyone that joins even sees combat, but some people are haunted by the things they end up having to do to complete the orders they’re given during combat. Even if its justified or they believe it was necessary to protect themselves.
Once you have a policy or command in place, you’ve gone from whatever the beliefs of a few people might have been, based on their own interactions and experiences, passed on to people below them in the chain of command being given as orders and carried out.
That’s usually how genocide works. The individuals creating the policy, giving the orders, or spreading propaganda aren’t usually the ones getting their own hands dirty by killing large numbers of people. That disconnect is usually what allows personal beliefs to turn into atrocities.
Ex: Stephen Miller is obviously a complete piece of shit. He can get on TV and spout a bunch of hateful propaganda, but would his lame ass ever be out physically detaining people? Hell no.
Yet he feels comfortable being the one to dramatically scream about needing higher quotas and threaten anyone that questions his policies (and even in his case, I suspect his biggest motivation is the money to be made off of this operation moreso than any actual strong ideology).
