Isn’t “due process” for the innocents amongst us?
Have we come here to discuss morals? Liking someone’s behavior is suddenly the same as trafficking? What kind of non-gray binary world do you live in?
Is liking the same as encouraging, or can it be appreciation at humor or another form of applause? And is applause always encouragement?
Who said we were good men?
Will liking things make others want to follow suit and make fewer questions? And more… declarations?
Maybe not.
Can they still buy guns?
#TRIGGER WARNING: THIS MAY BE FILLED WITH SEIZURE-INDUCING GIFS?
One that’s - my god! - full of stars?
Or an all-the-time party?
Or maybe just one where it’s very, VERY binary?
Can’t you see anything you want in such a world?

Isn’t it true that we’re currently trying to figure out how to fit both a movie and an outdoor concert in tonight, just 24 hours later? Isn’t it great that listening to Beethoven’s 1st (plus a picnic dinner, under an open sky, with a lake view) doesn’t make them run screaming?
Doesn’t one of them hope that another family will be there, or else she’ll spend the evening reading a book? But she’s not adverse to GOING, at least, right?
Wasn’t I speaking (read “posting gifs”) of my own inability to stand by while others did evil?
Don’t I like to think of myself as a good man, doing what I can to raise a bulwark against entropy?
Am I a good man? (Because that would be kind of confusing.)
Why do you think I’d judge you either way?
Thank you for that, but wouldn’t my children judge me more harshly?
Mom? Mom? What happened, Mom?
They’re going to judge you harshly anyway, isn’t it better to get it done and over with?
Aren’t I thankful that my allergies have abated today?
Hold me mom, in your long arms, your petrochemical arms?
(cf.)
Can I blame you now that I have that Harmonizer loop stuck in my head?
Wouldn’t I happily show you my draft of a philosophical theory that argues that life on this planet inherently fights futility … if I had written it down? Is an unwritten philosophical concept worth the paper it isn’t printed on yet?
ETA: isn’t my co-author, autocorrect, inattentive?
