Ugh, that's one thing I really hate about much of tech: supposedly everyone is in it to make the world a better place, somehow, by actually making it worse through advertisement and destroying privacy and getting people addicted to social media.

Sports is a fairly safe outlet for this sort of thing.

Religion is a bad one to have that attitude. Holy wars, etc.

Race is dangerous, as history is full of exterminations.

The idea that "race is dangerous" is dangerous.

They're saying it's dangerous to have an Us vs Them attitude when it comes to race.

I assure you we are a natural born Pine-tree.
