Politics, racism
When another person decides to use the genocide of Moscow or Israel to justify racism, you should really ask them if they also want to be judged by the politicians from their country. Especially if these politicians were actually selected in free elections.
It's easy to be a smartass. Yet I know that if I lived in totalitarian regime, I doubt I'd be brave enough to speak up publicly.

Maybe a bit controversial statement, but has democracy not already died in the US? Congress has no effective oversight anymore, GOP only listens to Trump, democratic party is totally ineffective. Rule of law is severely damaged.

To @…, and to a certain genre of supporter now grumbling about criticism:
The thing is, "not being political" is kind of a myth.
And even to the extent that that could be a thing, it doesn't extend to where you choose to put money, or whose work you choose to boost and promote.
What's happening today isn't a newly-political situation where no politics was before - it's people paying more attention to some choices which already carried political weight.

Liked this quote:
"reconsidering the idea that COVID is not only still here, but actively still dangerous, is a lot to ask when the alternative is the comfort of denial"
"a lot to ask when the alternative is the comfort of denial"
Nice mix of compassionate and pointy, on a key element of how I think the dynamic plays out.
There's a wise educator I know, who uses the expression "a heavy lift" to describe learning new ideas with big implications. I'm reminded of that.
