- AlexTWithBeard 5y agoAt least part of the blame goes mass media for not supporting a constructive dialog, but instead enforcing bubbles and amplifying mutual insults.
- anonporridge 5y agoI carry a first aid kit in my car to be prepared for some horrific medical emergency. Is it sad to make yourself ready for a horrifying, but historically likely event? Preparing for bad things doesn't mean you hope they happen. You should still you everything you can to avoid it. But you are an idiot if you choose to stick your head in the sand and pretend it can't happen.
