the five minute hate, uspol
I know that dehumanizing your enemy opens up the possibility of incredible horrors. But THEY'RE whining that Netflix is going to turn Looney Tunes Gay, while THEIR CDC advisors set up childrens' deaths; THEIR SCOTUS is willing to reconsider birthright citizenship while I worry about THEIR destruction of the Arctic Refuge; THEIR billionaires spending billions on a dead end project while my life would change completely if I had $20K to my name. Etc etc. And I can't help wondering, are we even the same species, do we even live on the same planet, since even if I wanted to harm them I couldn't, does it really hurt to think these THINGS are completely alien to whatever the hell I am?
