That's good, but your recent comment history looked overwhelmingly political to me, hence my request.

If you really don't see what's wrong with posting like this, we have a problem. Even if your position is 100% right, such rhetoric makes this place worse. Right people don't get to do that any more than wrong people do. Indeed, they arguably harm more.

Scared people are not bad people. But they cannot protect the weakest among us. They will betray everything we claim is right, and moral, and give into fear. And they're among the first to demand everyone else be fearful, and to ask for the end to discussions that progress the conversation among those who are not fearful.

When people see something that isn't right or fair or just they have a moral obligation to say something. Saying otherwise is just another betrayal and weakens everyone.
