I think it’s about staying focused on what you’re doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what’s going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I’m bad at dealing with this too though.
Should people turn against each other while the rich continue to get richer? You’re not going to seriously fix anything by vandalizing people’s cars. Even if you had some irrefutable proof that they’re a Nazi, what good will it do? Are they going to say, “damn, I guess I’ll stop being a Nazi now?” They’ll double down, and you open up doors to others doing the same to you.
Even the UHC CEO killing only raised the awareness and amount of discussion of our healthcare system temporarily, and that was a highly visible move against someone who was actually part of the system exploiting people.
More and more I’ve seen these contextless comments. It’s really odd. Do people just expect us to know what they’re thinking?
They’ll never tell.
