I HADN’T heard that clip actually. Doesn’t surprise me though. He just seems like the type to belittle someone for “fun”.
Personally, I grew up believing in what my grandma taught me as a kid. She said “Anyone can attack someone else. Bigger or smaller. Anyone can do it. Attacking them doesn’t make you strong. It makes you weak. You need to rely on attacks on others to feel strong. What really makes someone strong is being kind to all around them. If you develop bonds with everyone you meet, then they will defend you against attacks. They’ll feel hurt that you’re being hurt. Now it’s no longer 1 on 1. It’s 50 on 1. When you command kindness, you command the bond of everyone who cares for you.”
And that’s what we’re seeing right now in the streets. ICE is trying to divide our communities, but what we’re seeing in cities all over America are people banding together as one against ICE. Refusing them bathrooms. Refusing them service. Driving them out of cities.
History has taught us that this type of occupation can last a long time. For some, it is deadly. But history also teaches us, it can’t be forever. Their resolve is not absolute. Their power is centered on an unpopular idea. It won’t be forever, but only because there will always be resistance.
