Every element of American society seems so contentious, but for what real reason?
On social media, we learn that vegans, regardless of the rationale that lies at the core of their eating habits, are under attack from meat-eaters. Why? What’s the matter with letting people choose their lifestyles, especially when they’re not forcing themselves on you?
We see posts providing ideas from the clergy instructing the devout on how to counter atheists. Why? What’s the imperative to argue with other people who just happen to see the world differently?
The meme here speaks to the us-versus-them “logic” that the fossil fuels proponents uses against the environmentalists, and, more to the point, against the entire auto industry as it phases out gas and diesel.
Why are we so appealing about argument for its own sake?
A couple of points:
Actually, there are 11.4 million deer hunters, 4.6 million use archery and 6.8 million use guns. It just takes a second to look this up, and doing so prevents one from spreading malicious lies.
Hunters don’t use not assault weapons, which are almost always chosen by mass murderers. No one with any sense objects to rifles being sold to hunters.
With each passing day, Trump’s rhetoric reveals to an even greater degree his cruelty, his vindictiveness, and most of all, his lack of understanding of the U.S. Constitution. The only thing he has on his side is his capacity to mirror the hate and ignorance of his MAGA base.
We used to be proud of our country.
I’ve been to Japan. They’re sharp people.
At the very least, they don’t have people stupid enough to indiscriminately shoot water all over a village because of a kitchen fire.
