30. It is not about the other side

Oct 2012

it is about dehumanizing the other and making them less than.

That is a problem.

Look, I just raised the issue, do as you wish. None of us will stop you.

Me... if this continues, I suspect will pack my vehicle, and make a run for the border... as I am really not going to remain at a place in the middle of a civil war. I know what happens in civil wars, and I do not fantasize of them, or anything like that.

That is precisely where this country is moving to.

Carry on.

Now here is your other choice, calling any and all pols who do this shit, regardless of party, and demanding that this is NOT tolerated, and perhaps we can avoid a nice hot civil war. That is your other choice, Suffice it to say that all civil wars in the end do end, and people who hates each other's guts need to learn to live with each other. Some end in other countries, and never go home.

And of course there are the countless who end up in mass graves.
