Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

    Often we see people being demonised and dehumanized for political purposes. Americans basically dehumanize themselves.

    As a parent I can’t think of anything much more traumatic than losing a child to a gun massacre. It makes me furious. Watching Americans passively do nothing about this for decades has gone from infuriating to blame. I can’t relate to them anymore.

    I didn’t make them sub-human by questioning their race or religion or politics. They made themselves sub-human by ignoring the most basic moral and ethical requirements of human society and family. Watching them kill each other won’t bring me joy but it doesn’t outrage me as much as watching people in war torn countries being massacred in conflicts over which they had no control.

    This was a choice from a weak broken society.
