My FIL acknowledged the naivety of the young man who went to Africa to change the world. He was changed by his witness to the evil of apartheid. The insidiousness of seeing others as less than. Of treating them as less than. He and my MIL could have retreated into privilege. I am glad they did not.
I kept thinking about the Darwin awards during the pandemic. awards given to people who, through their own stupidity, have removed themselves from the gene pool. And thus we thank them. And i do feel badly, but we cannot save them from themselves. they do not hear us. That is what we HAVE to fix.
When people show you who they are.
Things fall apart!
Are they a vector for anything?
Yes. Yes I have (accepted that disorder constantly increases). I embrace the chaos. Fluid like water.
So wrong. So sad. So infuriating. My in laws were part of the struggle for a free South Africa during their time in Lesotho. They were friends and allies to good people, some of whom died for a free South Africa, who lost eyes or limbs to letter bombs. F**k Elon. F**k trump.
