Yeh I’m with you. We might well be past the point where people can still come together. I also feel quite discouraged that things have escalated to this. But I’m still trying to keep a few of my principles and a bit of my humanity. I don’t believe there’s evil, its a term for scaring children or riling up people against each other in contexts like religion or other groups. It’s just circumstances and humans who are not fit to deal with them in a healthy way.

That’s an argument I’ve made many times, and on an abstract level, I’d still say that. If I’d written the original post I might’ve chosen a different word, just cuz saying ‘evil’ seems a bit rude and I’m a nice guy. On the other hand, the opposition is trying to stomp us into submission, and they’re willing to kill about it and then call the dead terrorists, and I can’t work up a good head of quibble or hesitation about calling that evil.
Guess my supply of Minnesota nice is running low. But I’d still buy you a beer.
Trump is being accused by a named victim of the worst crimes in humanity. Maybe you should be sat down to watch what they’ve done. Some people are sadistic twisted pieces of shit. Our president is one of them.
Edit: and as a victim of some of that sick shit, it us evil what people will do to children. Pure fucking evil.

It’s not about being nice for me. More about how humanity could grow out of this cycle. Be better prepared when the storm is over.
Do I think this needs to be stopped? Most definitely. Do I think we will learn anything from it? Probably not. Or way too little.
But like I said. This just might not be the time anymore to have the luxury being more nuanced.
I’d buy you one in return.
