Not disagreeing, but there's a good chance somebody will snipe an ice agent and it will set the civil war in motion.

I don't want it, but it's starting to seem like that's the path we've taken.

Is humanity this far gone?

I don't think much can be accomplished by discussing the moral and ethical nuance of roadkill fucking.

For some reason we can't get morally squared away on fucking kids. No need to get distracted with hypothetical "I-40 Bambi" scenarios.

We could have this if the systems in place didn't provide perverse incentives for sociopaths.

We only need the will to correct the systems, but the sociopaths now have the power of highly distributed propaganda.

I'm right with you.

Political money needs to be regulated with an iron fist.

We need a Constitutional amendment to strictly define the framework for campaign contributions and violating those laws comes the highest criminal punishments imaginable.

Maybe the world isn't full of absolutes?

Maybe there would have been a 10% lower probability of war with Harris, and 80% higher probability of better protection of human rights?

If you are only capable of treating every magnitude of behavior equally, you'll repeatedly end up with poor outcomes. You need a weighting mechanism that isn't binary.

Moreover, you have to choose those that are most likely to align with your desired outcome, even if they don't qualify based on your purity test. Otherwise, you're just part of the, "I've got a number of strong opinions, but I'm going to do jack dick to move in that direction because that candidate isn't perfect" crowd.
