    Jeet Heer Retweeted Eric Levitz

    Unusually good and thoughtful discussion sparked by this tweet. I'll confess to being divided on this. Babbitt's death shouldn't be celebrated & our focus should be on the leaders of white supremacy (Trump & crew) not foot soldiers. But de-radicalization is not easy to achieve.https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1347544936070180867 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Eric Levitz @EricLevitz
    imo, we should not see ordinary people whose minds were poisoned by far-right propaganda as enemies to be crushed, so much as sinners to be saved. Ashli Babbitt's death was a horrific tragedy. When certain supposed progressives celebrate her suffering, they become what they hate

        I really wonder where mental illness plays a role here. She very knowingly participated in what she believed was a revolution that she was encouraged to undertake by the president. That wasn't a delusion! That was real. But - wouldn't you have to be delusional to do that!?!?

        Talking to foot soldiers is hard, nobody wants to admit to being duped. If I recall, AOC gave a great speech asking people who’ve fallen for this propaganda to “come back” and that “we’re ready to love you back” a couple years ago.

        This specific Antifa in Maga hats thing didn't start with Fox News...for once they're only parroting. It came directly from the WH in a press release on the 5th, and then from Cruz and others after it happened. Note: this ISN'T support for Fox News...they need to go...

        However culpable you think the people who believe the lies are (and I think they're plenty culpable), the powerful people who knowingly lied to them to rile them up are *more* culpable.

        how was it achieved in Japan and Germany post ww2, other than employing the useful fascists and hanging a few of the others

        it was creation and stoking of a different enemy, among other things (after slaughtering a whole bunch of them in the first place to get to that point)
