Stuff like this always reminds me of Peter Cullen’s talk about the idea that led him to the voice for Optimus Prime: “Be strong enough to be gentle.” Sure it’s for a cartoon character, but the idea that compassion takes more strength than cruelty does is a resonant truth in any form.

"How do you make ‘strong’ men? According to the right, it’s by making them cruel. “Owning the libs” isn’t just entertainment and sport, it’s important psychological training for the civil war they believe is to come."
