      Yeah. Strikes me as the laziest possible explanation for a thing, and it always seems to ironically come from people who are convinced that they’re better than others because they’re working harder or trying more.

        The least compassionate people I know are the ones fastest to write off the humanity of others.

        I swear, without irony, that if a young black man got shot in the face for parking next to a yellow curb, some of the people I’m thinking of would say “welp, shouldn’t have broke the law!”
