It's not vapid and his anger is righteous. Please realize that the cohort of people we're talking about have supported policies of enslaving "others" through laws for decades and that they continue to do this today. These policies have and are destroying communities, families, careers, lives, and to some extent, the fabric of the nation. It's also not a coincidence these are the same people that just lost an election and are trying to overturn the result by any means. Remember that story about raiding the home of a scientist in Florida a few days ago for doing science? That's the same people as the "anti-drug" people. It turns out that the anti-drug, anti-transgender, anti-gay, anti-science, anti-abortion, anti-vaccine, anti-education, anti-environmentalist, anti-healthcare, anti-mask, pro-police, pro-prison, pro-corporation, pro-pollution, pro-inequality, pro-torture, pro-religion group are all the same people. The anti-drug laws are just a symptom of a much wider societal corruption. We can't be handing out forgiveness to our oppressors while they are still actively oppressing. |
