"All #rightwing #people ultimately view #debate as "how well you can #justify what you wanted to do anyway", and this is why I know it's #pointless to debate them. There is no benefit to me, but they learn new subtle ways to cloak their disgusting #worldview in seemingly innocuous #language."

Most #corporate #media #American #Journalists outright #refuse to ask #Republican #politicians how they #justify #illegal #unconstitutional #barbaric actions of the #Trump #GOP #MAGA #regime.

It's a THING.

They're being told NOT to do it out of #fear, #intimidation or because of loss of #access or advertising revenue.

There were no #reports of Massey being #armed or #exhibiting #behavior that would #justify #murdering someone who called the #police for #help. The shots were fired about a half-hour after the #police arrived at Massey’s home.

#histodons one of the things I struggle with #history can #confine it can #limit it can also #hide but simultaneously it can #liberate it can #question it can #transform
#history can move us backwards, it can #justify horror

How do we use our discipline @histodons to move us away from historical #violence and from the #prejudice that pervades our very species?

I wonder this every single fucking day as I confront the limits, the abuses, and the possibilities of our discipline.
