In his essay, Spencer Case discusses the importance of his critique in the discussion of white privilege. In this context, he writes,
Slogans like "love trumps hate" perpetuate the idea that the difference between good and bad political ideas is amounts to the difference between good and bad motives. What this overlooks is that crusades against genuine evils, fired by moral zeal, often produce terrible consequences.
In your essay, capture the concern that Case is expressing here. Then, reflect: What role, if any, does moral zeal have to play in political or social movements? Do you share Case's concern that movements "fired by moral zeal" routinely yield "terrible consequences?" Be sure to include a real example, perhaps tying your answer to the wider privilege debate.
