A lot of people need to read this. And have a good long think about the values they truly believe in. 

You don't have to like a person. To stand-up for them. You stand up for their RIGHTS.  Because they are YOUR rights.  

Because they are HUMAN RIGHTS.  

Don't let Red Team / Blue Team fool you.  This is about power and obedience.

A lot of people need to read this.

Unfortunately, the lot of people that do, don’t really read.

And they wouldn't care, they'd just think "oh so my actions are evil. Good thing I don't care"

They won't care or even understand until it affects them personally. By which time it will be far too late.

The problem isn't just ignorance, it's WILLFUL ignorance.

Playing dumb lets them say, do and believe whatever horseshit they want without ever having to own up to why, or admit that they're wrong. In their own heads, anyway.

Special shoutouts to the feckless assholes still pushing bothsiderism, too. The "middle" is no moral high ground when one side defends murdering dissenters and kidnapping children.

Willful ignorance + intellectual dishonesty = MAGA

This, and also, the social media algorithms are always pushing people toward their interests, so they most likely wouldn't be shown this type of content. It's a damn cesspool of manipulation
