I see you've met Brisket for the first time. Enjoy.
Im planning on trying to teach my son this lesson as he ages. Everyone is the hero of their own story. Very few people are sitting in a back room thinking "How can I hurt as many people as possible" I'm not saying there aren't plenty of those people, but that is not what a majority of fucks ruining this country are doing. More likely, it's what I want to make my son understand so he can embrace empathy:
Everyone is the hero of their own story. We're all little snowflakes who struggle to understand that people around us have feelings to, that they're also scared, also threatned, also hurting. Becuase frankly, being Me takes up damn near 100% of my time/thought. Does Tim Dunn do what he's doing because he's evil, and wants people to hurt? More likely, he believes the rotten shit in his brain is truly in the best interests of America, and he's a hero that's trying to so what's best for God and Country and Community. I bet Hitler really thought the Jews were evil.
And I'm not saying these people aren't evil, but propoganda works and all the guardrails about human decency and community are gone. Education and critital thinking are gone. Misinformation is rampant and everywhere thanks to the internet. So people can believe what they want to believe, and, well, we are all the hero's in our own story.
