@InvaderXan Holy guacamole yes! I grew up thinking of myself as "liberal" which to me meant open minded and empathetic, but these days I feel like people are so caught up in being part of their particular armed camp that treating other people like non humans is becoming socially acceptable, which just makes me feel utterly sad and dis-enfranchized.
And it confuses people. It gives them something to puzzle over for the rest of the day! Truly delightful.
