Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

I think you missed the message that started this conversation about the lynching and advocating for violence “If you are in proximity to this fuck and aren’t hitting him in the face then you’re not only a class traitor, but you’re a traitor to humanity.

In my opinion way to deal with violence, and that is why I quoted Asimov, is by being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground.

Anyone that is violent for me is indistinguishable from “the people on the right”.

Wow that was a quick appearance of the Godwins Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

If you cannot distinguish between WW2 vs. Lynching a person, then I don’t know how a communication between you a and me is going to be possible.
