I don't get what you are saying. an individual's emotional response gets them to act. rational people tell them where to channel their energy. we need both. but you put up goal posts marking objective things people can do better on, as if to check whether or not I'm allowed to have an opinion on this truck (which is the inane part, not the whole conversation) tho I'm tired of it as well. I met those goal posts and went further because I've been acting on the emotional and rational responses for years now. my point is that we don't need "arbitrary" lines to find out whether this specific truck skirting these specific taxes is crossing them. it's so flagrant it doesn't need an emotional or rational justification. it clearly does. just admit your original comment was an emotional one, go back and read it and tell me it wasn't at all. I don't care whether we are polarized. I don't believe we are going to experience a magical unification where we figure out politics out and defeat climate change. it's a slow train downhill and everybody who isn't getting on board now (trying and learning to reduce) is my enemy. end of story.
