This is a case where even I don’t like my own opinion, but I think it might be true. If it comes down to average Americans vs. the military, for example, we need as many people on board as possible. As unified a front as salvageable.

    Might is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that sentance.

    The reality is, in the vast majority of cases, it’s simply easier to just wait for them to fucking die. It won’t take long since a lot of them are already old. And it saves my mental health in the mean-time.

    Bridges only matter when we’re talking about opinions.

    A belief in basic human rights is not an opinion; it’s a non-negotiable requirement in order to take part in a civilized society.

    We need to stop talking about building bridges with bigoted fucks who think that “all brown people should be shot” is just an opinion like “I like pickles”.
