Mistake

“You know what’s very hard for me to understand:  how come the same people who would do anything to defend us against Covid, take any measures, take away all kinds of liberties, are also willing to do everything to fund and push war, even to the point of risking nuclear war? How are they the same people?!”

“And they’ll also do everything apparently to protect the environment but be very relaxed about opening the possibility of nuclear war which, apart from its effect on us, isn’t really that good for the environment.”

“I was forgetting that yeah. So how do we explain it?”

“You don’t know what the answer is to all this schizophrenic behaviour?”

“No.”

“It’s that they’re a cabal of pathetic, lying, deranged and psychotic freaks who think everyone else are just stupid dumb animals far beneath them.”

“Oh right, I didn’t think of that. That explains it. I was all confused because I was assuming they were sane and decent.”

“That was your mistake.”
