please quote where i've said i want revenge on anyone....and what for?I just finished reading this article. It's a good one.
Yep, your anger at just about everything did come to my mind. Your violent fantasies are described almost perfectly in section IV: The Revenge Impulse. Though it did make a case for the positive outcome that normal every day anger can produce, the article pretty much did not say that long-term, undirected and uncontrolled rage is a good thing. Pretty much the opposite.
They also referred to the moral indignation that I use to motivate me to get out and block violent fascists. The difference is, I have no desire to take revenge, I just want stop them from marching in our streets and project fear into our population. I don't want a single black, brown or jewish child to ever feel the fear that earlier generations felt when the KKK marched. I do think that Proud Boys and others like them suffer from the Revenge Impulse. The next time I see them across a police cordon, I'll have a bit more understanding of what is driving them.
There is a lot of depth in that article. I think I'll print it out and spend some time re-reading it over a cup of coffee.
my anger is directed...at those that make me angry...i may sometimes mistake who is to blame, but if the facts are pointed out to me, i have no problem re-directing it.
of course, you're the exception that proves the rule...you do feel moral indignation...but your moral indignation is different than everyone else's........
i don't want any children, anywhere, to feel any fear that anyone is going to hurt them....black, brown, jewish, white, red, yellow.....
i don't understand how you're categorizing me the way you are....but that's your right, to make assumptions without evidence, to condemn without a hearing, to make judgements from a questionable moral high ground.
