In Alabama a man who is feeling suicidal was taken to jail, like you do, and the next thing his family knew, he was dead from hypothermia of all things. How do you get hypothermia while in jail? All cops are bastards, however when someone who is a cop decides to not be a bastard, they stop being a cop.

We are all one bad day away from becoming refugees. We look down on refugees because of a war or political collapse that was never their fault but it could happen to us to. If the US has a civil war, guess what, we would get to be refugees. Will others show us the same mercy? "It can't happen here!" Everyone thinks that until it does. Look at Afghanistan in the 60s or Germany in the 1920s or even Syria not that long ago. People had stuff, they had lives and jobs and stability and then the bombs fell. Authoritarianism is rising around the world.

It's about the fallacy of needing to cover both sides in every story. You don't. We have carved out exceptions to that idea in other situations. Journalists don't feel obligated to talk to flat earthers any time a story about space exploration comes up If we were talking about something like tort reform or raising or lowering taxes, or even an election, it makes sense to hear both sides, though notably the NYT and WaPo opted not to have any Bernie supporters among the ranks of never Trump conservatives and mainstream liberals.

"no ethical consumption under capitalism" is not a blanket permission to ignore all well organized boycotts and strikes, it's a clap back against bad faith hypocrisy dunks for wearing clothes and buying groceries from monopolies and oligopolies #HogwartsLegacy A single individual refusing to shop at Walmart does nothing. That is not an example of a well organized boycott. "Voting with your dollar" is a fallacy *without organization, goals, and planning*
