If you're right-wing, if you're a Nazi, if you're a reactionary, I'm not going to be nice to you.

Yeah.

And I don't think we should be nice to them.

They're not nice to us.

They're not nice to random uninitiated people.

They're not nice to the entire swaths of the population.

So, yeah, if that's your ideology, if that's your worldview, I find that to be very damaging.

I find that to be very toxic.

I find that to be violent and dangerous.

I'm going to fight back.

I'm going to use some mean words every now and then.

Yeah, that was me responding to Daniel Crenshaw, ironically enough, on the Joe Rogan experience where he was making this ridiculous argument that like, you know, we have to go out and fight these people all the time because they hate us because they ain't us.

And I was like, that's insane.

That's not the reason.

And this was actually echoed by Robert Kagan, one of the godfathers of neoconservatism, just last week where he came out and was like, yeah, actually –

we have been messing around in the Middle East for upwards of 60 years.

And that's precisely the reason why 9-11 happened.

And that's precisely the reason why these guys say death to America and Iran, for example.

So that was exactly the same sentiment that I've addressed a million times over.

But of course, in this moment, it was a heated response, an impassioned response.
