Wasn’t this all just to be contrarian to Trump? Trump says lab leak? Can’t be lab leak! Trump says travel ban? Travel bans are racist! Now that Trumps out the lab leak is something to look into and everyone has done some level of travel

You could say the same thing about police officers. People think that because a small percent are bad we’d be better off letting society police itself into utopia. #DefundTheDoctors?

I’ll just say then the only thing I don’t agree with is the hysteria about it. So maybe we agree on the facts just not what those facts say about the event and our democracy.

The statistics are all you need to be informed. Three protestors died and two police officers? Is that a blood bath murder spree? I’ve seen dateline episodes with more murder. They were not well intentioned but they were not all there t

How am I down voted for saying what they are saying is stoic?

Did you even read the article? “Epictetus was telling his students there can be no such thing as being the ‘victim’ of another. You can only be ‘victim’ of yourself.” So no, I’m not victim blaming, I’m reading the article on what it means t

No, if you are robbed you aren’t the victim. No more than you are the victim for tripping on your shoe laces. You make choices and those choices have consequences. Don’t tie your shoes? Trip! Go out in a sketchy area late at night? Robb
