Blame yourself for tweeting about how fucked up this situation is without elevating the leve of discourse beyond just saying how fucked up it is.

You’re basically saying that no one should ever point out injustice unless they’re actively fixing it. Which is an unnecessarily high burden on anyone wishing to express experiences of injustice. If the only people allowed to share their experiences of injustice are those actively fighting it, you won’t get more fighters, you’ll just get less reports of injustice.

I don’t care that he didn’t “elevate the level of discourse”. Dude’s a UFC fighter. No one is waiting on his hot take on how to fix poverty induced prostitution. It’s sufficient that he shared his experience. Other, more informed, people can piggyback on this observation and provide context and solutions.

Like how you did.

I strongly believe that a friend of mine has undiagnosed ADHD. The degree to which everyone around him keeps saying, “he’s not atypical, he just to stop being a fuck up and commit to something” is frustrating. My man needs treatment, not tough love.

A horse? Seriously? No way can this guy win against a horse. Have you seen horses? They’re huge.

I read somewhere that a group of 55 republicans who plan to make sure he gets less votes every round. To rub in how much they don’t want him.

Which is in line with most other UBI experiments. How many more experiments do we need until politicians just acknowledge that this is good policy and we need to start implementing it?

You just described the average millennial. Who are in their thirties by the way.

So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?

So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.

These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.

Yeah… Being asked to defend the pro-pedophilia position of your company may be a sign that you should quit. Or be the guy who defended pedophiles in parliament. I dunno.

My grandmother used to say: if you expect your good deed to be reciprocated, you’re not actually doing a good deed.

She said it in dutch, so I hope it’s an decent translation.
