      The right has gone full Reich.

      No. I would rather go to prison than ever speak kindly to a Nazi.

        I don’t think “they go low, we go low” is improving anything.

          Killing Nazis is high, not low. Don’t be a fence sitter about fucking Nazis. JFC centrists are so unhelpful.

            I’m talking about rhetoric. Friend, I’m probably more left than you might imagine. And I’d very well imagine the current Israeli administration saying the same thing you just said, about Palestinians. As I age, and continue to temper the worst parts of myself, I’ve come to understand, innerstand,* overstand, and understand, good and evil may be opposites, but they occupy the same spectrum as life and death, light and darkness. I pray at some point, you will, too.
