@BattleDwarfGimli @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @jb @ApexBoomer @monsterislandcolonizer I've seen this too many times. They can be otherwise intelligent but become utter fools if there's an opportunity to be "kind". Because that's what's most important to them damn the consequences.

Same thing in British Columbia during covid and we had Bonnie Henry, the provincial health minister, ending every televised address with, "Be kind." And it worked on women and men that are basically women.

Because they knew it would.
