Violence for the sake of protecting another person is an example of kindness too.

Violence for the sake of correcting evil is also kindness. Some people need to get their ass kicked before they develop some empathy, for example.

Violence is kindness when peace means the suffering of others.

Part of loving yourself is learning to accept your flaws, and sometimes allow others to see or help you overcome those flaws. Loving yourself means having the ability to be vulnerable with others. It means taking care of yourself in every regard. Mentally, physically, and socially.

And when a narcissist cannot ignore, minimize, or avoid their flaws they will turn their self-hatred outward. The phrase of "Yeah, I've got <flaw>, but everyone else is just as bad as me if not worse."

If you love yourself that means you can acknowledge the good and the bad. It means you love yourself regardless of flaws.

A narcissist is infatuated with themselves because they believe they are flawless. Or rather, they are so insecure of their flaws that they ignore, minimize, or avoid them.

There is a genuine threshold and moment when people look back a year or two only to realize how much worse things are. Then they look at who's in power. Even the most cynical people who dig their heels and plug their ears inevitably succumb to the reality of their material conditions.

People will change their minds and they will change them rapidly once the reality of hunger, poverty, and a lack of support hits them personally. Even the most stubborn cultists will inevitably reach a breaking point and attempt to escape it.

The US was not a broken system, it was a decaying one. We still had a lot of privileges and the system benefitted a lot of people beyond just the extremely wealthy.
We are now heading toward that broken system, and there's no one to blame but the republicans.
