Fear is addictive. I don’t get it.

Hate? Hate I understand, although I choose not to partake. But fear? Who enjoys fear?

I will never understand these people.

To be constantly in desperate terror for your life, the life of your family, and your way of life and liberty—and yet to know, really, that nothing bad will ever actually happen to you—is to be entirely justified. Justified in your behavior, justified in your hate, justified in all your utterances.

It’s delicious. Being the victim means you are never, ever, ever wrong.

It’s not nice, but it’s very human. You can never be called to account when you are only defending yourself against THEM.

Lynching came out of this mindset.
