      The Batman imagery makes a lot of sense, because it’s a fiction and I couldn’t ever imagine “the good guys” taking moral high grounds and winning wars (in Ukraine, etc) without guns.

      (I say this as someone who agrees that the USA has way too many guns - but they’re a tool built for a purpose)

      Not using the weapons of the enemy is what landed the enemy a victory.

        the fact that some people will happily take a beating if it means they keep some “moral high ground” they get to be smug about would be funny if it weren’t so sad, and if it weren’t what got us four more years of the orange dipshit.

      Cool the don’t do it. Are you able to do that while not alienating people who share your views perhaps? That’d be great.
