- This isn't going to start a US culture wars flamewar.
- It's terribly cynical to bury it, considering it amounts to saying "We'd really care about you being shot for being (allegedly) the victim of a disease, but you've chosen to die in ouy consciousness' off-week".
- It's a technically brilliant, marveling piece of storytelling.
> a US culture wars flamewar.
The culture wars thing is a red herring. It's the flamewar bit (i.e. the destruction of thoughtful conversation) that we're worried about.
Sort of reminds me of the "Snow Fall" piece that was highly upvoted a few years back:
I disagree with this. I'm puzzled how you can view the post and reduce it to politics.
"Politics (from Greek: πολιτικός politikos, definition "of, for, or relating to citizens") is the process of making decisions applying to all members of each group. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance — organized control over a human community, particularly a state. Furthermore, politics is the study or practice of the distribution of power and resources within a given community (a usually hierarchically organized population) as well as the interrelationship(s) between communities.[0]"

This documents the slaughter of humans and the collateral suffering.
It's disappointing that this would be flagged, and at best, it's completely misguided.
The only thing I can guess is that it was flagged because Trump's name is mentioned. Lame.
