I like cats He/Him If you do not support the universality of human rights, you're a monster. If you support governments that commit genocide, you're a monster. Far too many individuals are unable to rise above those VERY low bars.

MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.
Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
This is what happens when consequences are not imposed on the rich and powerful.
It is also what happens when individuals disclaim all responsibility for making their society less ass.
Consequences flow from the people. This means *the people* must rise up and apply them. Until then: lawlessness.
Amen. In fact, I need to go buy more masking tape...

You casually wash your hands of that by denying they share your faith.
So you're going to ensure hate survives by denying the reality that it has deep-rooted purchase in your faith. Cool beans. That makes you part of the problem.
