    I am not incredibly smart, but I am smart enough to be aware of my own shortcomings. And those confirm this. I do often find myself supporting irrational positions because I don’t want things to go the way that lots of awful people want it to. My desire for their cause to fail is stronger than my rational ability to analyze what would actually be best. That’s how the human mind works.

      People are complex. We are not binary.

      It’s why we should always call out whataboutism.

      Hating mustard doesn’t mean you support ketchup.
