Storming the Capitol Building is not a "privilege." It is LICENSE afforded a white insurrectionist mob under the shield of racism. One has the privilege of doing what is right; a license protects one from accountability for wrongful actions. White supremacy is a white license. It's obvious that the instigators, which include President Trump, senators such as Cruz and Hawley, should be removed from office. We know what would unfold if Black senators had instigated such actions. White license/supremacy affords a lack of accountability.

As actual #love is a form of elation in the freedom of another or others, I often wonder about people whose avowed love for animals is actually a statement of their misanthropy in which they can only have relationships with what they can control through cultivated dependency. For those curious about where this reflectio is coming from, I just spent time watching 4 episodes of #TigerKingNetflix. What is striking is that the owners of these private zoos treat their lovers as they do their exotic animals. Their "love" is ultimately abusive.
