Russell “Texas” Bentley, A Matter of Life and Death

You can dismiss everything he has to say as platitudes, and be right.

You can still embrace the defiance of fear and not be wrong.

What’s important is not what he says, but how it makes you feel, and what it might motivate you to think, and do.

In the immediate term, my choice of what to do is post him, since he’s banned from the tubes, and even before the ban he was algorithmically suppressed to the point where you’d never see what he had to say anyway.

Of course that’s true of a lot of people, and I am only righting one small wrong because of the greater context, and because of who he is, and because of the potential re-framing power of who he is to give you a new look into the heart of your enemy.
