    They’re using “get real cool with [the methods]” to mean “get on board with”, not “relax”.

      Too few are cool “enough” with the methods when it comes to actually using them. That’s why I’m saying “cool” is the wrong word. We don’t need more chill. We need more people mad enough to act and not even begin to give a damn if anyone is cool with their actions.

      Unfortunately, almost none of us reach that point short of direct harms to our persons or our (chosen, birth, whatever)families. Even for the dude who iced Shinzo, it was mostly a personal vendetta.

        Which is another way of saying that we need people to be cool with taking actions themselves that the rest of society still deems too extreme to condone.
