The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!
Hardfolk
We're here because JMSmith put up another post, this one titled Hatred is the Sociable and Political Emotion. He starts off with these two quotes and then goes on from there.
“Let us say that a ‘people’ is an assembled multitude . . . bound together by a common agreement as to the objects of their love.”
St. Augustine, The City of God (A.D. 426)
“In politics . . . a community of hatred is almost always the foundation of friendships.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1896)
Sad to say, but hate speech is what binds us together.
