genuinely fascinating to me that even after an american is executed in the street by the state your instinct is not to condemn and discuss this on its own terms but to use it as fodder for abstraction and discourse policing
@chatterton.bsky.socialIt’s not even so much about “sane” vs. “insane” anymore, as it so often was circa 2020. The fundamental split today is between the *decent* and the *indecent.* It is monstrous to desire, excuse, sanitize, whitewash avoidable killing even of one’s perceived foes.
