To the editor: Because of contributing author Matt Ok. Lewis, whose op-ed led me to show to a contributor to violent rhetoric in my very own lounge: my TV streaming providers (“Left and proper have united in favor of puerile, violent rhetoric,” Oct. 24). How lots of the plots in films and TV sequence have more and more revolved round corrupt, venal, duplicitous leaders from the White Home, CIA, FBI, navy, metropolis or county? And the way lots of the heroes who rise to take revenge and combat for freedom and the American approach are wronged residents, disrespected or disgraced navy veterans or authorities operatives whose spouses have been killed or who expertise a disaster of conscience?
Is it too far-fetched to think about {that a} common client of a weight loss plan of righteous violence may come to see it as normalized? Might some perpetrators of the violence that we’ve seen within the information been primed with televised justification? This may very well be a small ingredient to Lewis’ still-tepid frog-boiling pot, however we’re seeing the bubbles.
