You are not obliged to let your moral compass spin with the election results. You have a right to hold unpopular opinions. You have a right to your own damn principles.
Remember that. Please.

Jack Campbell's THE LOST FLEET: BEYOND THE FRONTIER does actually include a species of teddy bear-looking herd herbivores who have systemically exterminated every single species they can find that could ever be a threat or competition for food.

There used to be a sort of universalized hypocrisy, where everybody assumed that somebody else cared about good and evil and right and wrong, and so at least tried to pretend they did too, and the whole system slouched onward more-or-less functionally. Don't know how you restore that now.

Bonus #MapMonday, this one is based off of a short story I read years ago where there was a nuclear war in the 1980s and the Non-Aligned Movement ended up as the world's dominant powers. Unfortunately, cannot remember the title or the author, but it was pretty good I think!

We are just going to keep smashing apart the foundations of the modern world until we feel like we imagined we would have felt in 1950 again, and we don't care how many people we kill or how much value we destroy to do it.
Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further

If you like Star Wars and don't like RotJ I don't actually understand what you like.

For all the outrage about the South African comparison, it is pretty clear that Bantustans are the actual explicitly preferred end-state for a lot of "two-staters".

My favorite was the free-range pig farm where the couple was morally opposed to farrowing barns or fencing so it was literally just this meme.

This show is great, every episode is like "I am 73 years old and dependent on a CPAP machine. I moved to the middle of Blood Bear Death Ravine, seven thousand miles from the nearest generator. I am morally opposed to hunting and farming, and my budget is $16.34. Please send help." 10/10, no notes.

I don't know what even the point of arguing with these people is anymore, but the idea that "the crime gene" had been weeded out by 19th-20th century Europe is something you have to be a genuine imbecile to believe.

One of the most heartbreaking things I've seen in my life was Ann Coulter in 2016 calling Trump an "Emperor-God".

This is a true prophecy, as true as yours ever were. When the souls rise up in glory, yours shall not be shunned nor sundered, but shall be the prize of the gods’ gardens. Even your darkness shall be treasured then, and all your pain made holy, Charlie Brown.

We're in such a balkanized political and media culture now; it really does not even occur to them that they need to be or should be making a case to anyone except their own supporters. The content is the point.
