Everyone is wrong about why Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump. People on the right blame overheated rhetoric on the left. People on the left condemn the right’s historical support for political violence. But this all misses the point. There are three long-term trends in human society that made sometime like Thomas Crooks’ actions virtually inevitable – the rise of loneliness, the normalization of political aggression, and the decline in social trust – and animal rights presents compelling solutions to all of these problems. As Tolstoy wrote over 100 years ago, “As long as there are slaughterhouses there will always be battlefields.” Until the world recognizes this truth, there will always be political violence. - The Simple Heart on Substack - Subscribe to Wayne Hsiung's newsletter to learn more about the #RightToRescue at https://simpleheart.org! - Chapter 1 00:00 Introduction, the three long-term trends Chapter 2 02:11 Let's start with what happened and the response Chapter 3 09:09 How this misses the systemic factors Chapter 4 10:25 Loneliness Chapter 5 19:39 Normalizing Aggression Chapter 6 31:36 Decreasing Trust Chapter 7 37:23 Imagine a different world, Final Thoughts Chapter 8 39:31 Outro video - Thank you for watching!
