->'''[[spoiler:Sentinel Prime]]:''' Optimus, you forget your place. I bring you Cybertron, your home! And ''still'' you choose humanity!]]\\

->''"Oh, why don't you stop already? You don't "love," Vlad. You've NEVER "loved!" All you've ever done in life is WANT things! You know something Vlad, you can't look me in eye and honestly tell me that your life has been all that terrible! It just wasn't ENOUGH for you! You could take away everything that ever meant anything to anyone, and the rest of the world besides, and it STILL wouldn't be enough for you! Never enough MONEY! Never enough Attention! Never enough... EVERYTHING! I fell in love with a man who has always been able to think about MORE than just himself, and I don't care how powerful or smart or perfect you THINK you are... that man is never... ever... EVER... going to be you."''

->I admire Porter's understated phrase about Staver's unwillingness "to reconcile" the beliefs he refuses to reaffirm "with the times he has publically advocated it." I think Staver may have simply been confused by the distinction. In his mind, and in his world, saying one thing to one group of people while saying the opposite to another group doesn't mean that he lacks integrity. He always--with utter consistency and "integrity"--says exactly what he needs to say to whatever audience he is addressing. In his mind, he's not contradicting himself, merely tailoring his stated beliefs to the contradictory expectations of different listeners."

->Extreme fear perhaps breeds this extreme fear. White supremacists probably fear revenge, retaliation, the tables turning--as they wipe the blood of democracy, of equality, of the dying and dead off their hands. Like the enslavers of old sleeping with guns under their pillows, they know the level of brutality they have leveled against people of color and their white allies. They probably can't imagine that Indigenous anti-racists ''just'' want their land back and aren't genocidal; that Black anti-racists ''just'' want reparations and don't want to enslave; that Asian anti-racists ''just'' want to be visible and don't want to render white people invisible; that Latino and Middle Eastern anti-racists ''just'' want to flee violence and don't want to invade predominantly white nations. White supremacists are mobilizing against an anti-white army that isn't mobilizing, that isn't coming, that isn't there. Then again, if there is an army that is mobilizing, that is coming, that is here--it is made up of white supremacists. Their carnage is here. Their ideology, too.
