Goddamn this is some thoughtless drivel. I hope our boy Gabriel enjoys his tenure at The Atlantic
If all we do is make physical noise every now and then, we can’t really accomplish anything besides successfully antagonizing the other side.
Right now, we’re pushing people away. We’re pushing away the very people who have the means and the power to establish actual change.
What I saw at that protest a month ago was the perpetuation of polarization. Driving the gap between people even further. The same concept that the corruption in this country thrives on.
As time goes on, there just seems to be more and more polarization and less and less actual unity. We keep villainizing each other and genuinely believe that doing so will fix real problems or change something.
That’s not how it works.
If we want genuine change, we have to be willing to compromise and meet with the opposition on the other side.
Libs are literally incapable of understanding that there are some beliefs that are irreconcilable. What's the negotiation between "yes genocide" and "no genocide"? Half genocide?
No, you have to compromise. We demand you launch airstrikes only between 10am - 6pm in areas at least 100m from designated school zones, launched by pilots who have at least 6 hours of training in identifying targets and minimizing civilian casualties. Then it's not a war crime, it's just sparkling neoimperialism
How many babies should be killed, and should it be done in a more organized way? Maybe Gabriel has some ideas about facilities that might make this whole genocide thing less unsightly.
