Demons: America's Lost Humanity in the Face of Tragedy

An extended rant on how political tribalism has turned Americans into inhuman 'demons' who instantly weaponize tragedies like the invasion instead of just being sad about human suffering.
- Americans on both sides of the political aisle have lost their humanity and become demons.
- Immediately politicizing human tragedies instead of acknowledging the human cost is a psychotic impulse.
- Celebrating deaths of unvaccinated people was wrong in the same way that mocking refugees is wrong.
- NATO expansion didn't help the situation and U.S. policy made things worse, though that doesn't justify invasion.
- The invasion of Ukraine should be condemned as a brazen criminal act, not defended as contrarian cool.
- Being a contrarian online feels powerful but should pause when confronted with scenes of actual human horror and displacement.
