I'd love for a reporter to ask, "So, can we set a time to revisit that question once you've gotten up to speed about what LITERALLY EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY knows? Perhaps 2:00 tomorrow, then?"

5) ...in legitimate courts of law, so that the appropriate consequences were meted out to them?

Why, we might ACTUALLY have a Republic....

And we might have proved that we were capable of KEEPING it!

4) What would it look like if EVERY LAST ONE of the previous administration's agents were held to account for their actions? What kind of society might we live in, if each and every one of these [alleged] criminals were PROPERLY given due process and failed to prove their cases

3) What would it look like if they deployed a properly independent DOJ to scrutinize the actions of the previous administration, hold those actions against the rubric of adherence to the Constitution, and more generally, to the Rule of Law?

2) What would it look like, if there was a resoundingly veto-proof majority in Congress, a duly and appropriately expanded SCOTUS (which *actually* was able to function in a non-partisan manner), and a person at the head of the Executive Branch who took the Office *seriously*...

2) And, in the middle-future, they will ALL Pay!

And every last credulous cretin who stood behind these atrocities (as well as all the others) will be exposed as the fools and/or racist fascist psychopaths that they are!

Or, if you prefer, "Sir/Ma'am, I respectfully decline to obey that order because I believe it is an unlawful order."

I hate to say it, but any service members who carried out that order to murder defenseless people in the water also need to answer for that.

"I'm sorry sir, due to article 92 of the UCMJ I cannot obey that order" is the ONLY lawful response

8) And I cannot express enough contempt for anyone who would see that premise as at ALL problematic.

7) But that does NOT mean that they MUST be depicted as one-note Baddies, nor does it mean that any attempt to show that they possess a richer set of motivations than "Kill The Humans" makes them any less menacing....it just means they too have a point of view.

6) It is a dark legacy of colonialism, of Manifest Destiny, the "White Man's Burden."

Dek is a member of a fully valid culture, one that has put it at odds with our own, apparently for millennia. They are unlikely to become our buddies.

5) That sort of reflexive Othering, that simplistic insistence that what we have seen and believed MUST be the ONLY way to see a culture that has its own interiority, is the very *essence* of ethnocentrism.

4) And, further, does any attempt to "humanize" them and to depict their culture in any sort of nuanced way constitute some kind of "Woke Disnification?"

Poppycock!

3) So, ALL members of a culture have to adhere to the definitions we impose on them from without? If they have sought to harm us, then they are *comprehensively* Bad?

2) They seem to center around the idea that this was a "Nerfing" of the Yautja, that by presenting Dek as a protagonist with a journey to take that will restore him within his culture, somehow drains the Predators of their menace.
