    A lot of people just want to label one side “evil” and one side “good”.

    That’s just not how life works, it’s not that clean cut.

    And if you go the simple route and say they were just evil, you miss the “why”.

    That “why” is very very important because we need to stop it from happening again.

    And if you take a second and look around, shits real close to going bad again. We literally can’t afford to ignore the details.

    Unfortunately lots of people aren’t smart enough to see all that, they want it to be like a football game where everyone picks one side and hates the other.

    It’s tribal behavior baked into our dna, and it takes a significant amount of smarts to get around those instincts. Some people just can’t
