    I’m convinced there’s got to be some kind of diagnosable mental disorder that makes people go out and try to get the absolute maximum number of people to hate them. Jones has it, that furry with a Confederate / Nazi fursona has it, Marjorie Taylor Greene has it…

    Now that’s not to say that just because these people are sick, they aren’t dangerous.

    “If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards.”

    — Samuel Johnson
