One is a good cop, the other is a bad cop. But the good cop enables the bad cop. So both are still pigs.

Amazing how people can know of the whole "Good cop, bad cop" routine and still fall for it. It really is an effective tactic, even at scale.
People "fall for it" because the both teams bad narrative helps the super bad team seem less super bad in comparison.
If the conversation appropriately punished the super bad the whenever they did something super bad, then maybe voters would actually overhwleming not vote them and force them to change. Instead, by assuming the super bad team will be super bad, we get more upset when the people we thought were good guys do something bad, and we don't really give much conversation to the super bad team because we expected them to be evil.
Then, when its time to vote, someone can think "well both sides are evil but this one side did say something about an issue I care about, so I will vote them" and vote super bad and not feel too guilty about it.
I guess this yapping is to say the "both sides evil" narrative is really really bad in my eyes. I'm not feeling great today, sorry to take it out on this. Thanks for letting me yap.
It's just a little genocide. It's not up to them to stop platforming it, stop asking. It's up to you to learn to swallow it.
I like how we all keep posting memes and jerking eachother off instead of burning down Babylon.
Don't worry folks, fascism will just blow over soon, lol.

The only time I apply virtue ethics is when someone is a virtue ethicist (I hate them).
