Much of that crazy dust is religion, and religion-like belief in non-religious subjects such as the Big Bang origin myth.

They operate within law, until they turn violent, so there’s no coming down on them.

@rainmanjr Is it against the law to make terroristic threats?

@Organist1 You'd wind up in jail and the terrorists would go free. That's justice lately.

@Organist1 I'd have to see the specific threat to answer that question. They do make many threats but ALL humans tend to make threats when angry. Even liberal ones (like me). I think liberals inflame their human crap with jeers and sarcasm so they raise the volume or demonstrate that they will, indeed, carry out the threat. They won't. That's just how recess fights tend to go. I used to be much more sarcastic, and tend to be more sympathetic than empathetic, and lost two long term liberal friends who said I became an asshole. I meditated on my humor and dropped most of it all together but, especially, sarcasm. I might say something in a funny way but I mean most of it. Anyway, long reply to say that this is why I'm more bitter about humanity now.

@rainmanjr I am too, and didn't think it was possible. However, my dim view of humanity led me to read books by primatologists and scholars studying evolution, and now I understand more why humans are the way they are. It doesn't make me feel any better about it, though, and if anything, worse. This is because I know humanity won't soon evolve out of it, if we even survive. BTW, I lost my best friend to QAnon. I still have a really hard time with that one, but she sustained a traumatic head injury, so that is at least an explanation. I miss her. It's like watching the movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

@Organist1 Peace
