I'm reminded of playing RISK with family members. When someone has managed themselves into an advantageous position, and their enthusiasm causes them to panic and offer up conciliatory promises to everyone on the board. That's all I can think of, because it doesn't seem sensible.

CD burnings, punishment for playing games including magic, the threat of disallowing friendship with people who introduced me to the games. And then justification of bigotry against gay and trans people. It's not anodyne.

I came from an evangelical background and when it's used it means that something is from the devil and should not be tolerated. Its not that it's unbiblical. It's that it in opposition to Christ. It's a term to stigmatize.

Yeah this is the big tragedy. Virus disease and death with be a lot quieter and more personal. It'll take a lot, especially for people who don't trust experts, scientists, and news organizations, to want to hear it.

This is a really depressing example of where we are. The right wing media creates talking points designed to cause fear and alarm, and shouts them over any sensible discussion of the facts. They aren't meant to be argued, they're meant to silence discussion.
