I do mean this for both sides, too. I've been thinking a lot about the Charlottesville vehicle attack and the NYC truck attack of last week.

I notice a lot of those who weren't outraged about the Heather Heyer killing were outraged about Sayfullo Saipov, and those who weren't outraged at Saipov were outraged about James Alex Fields.

I think your reaction to the reactions to these atrocities is more based on how it fits your narrative than the reactions themselves.

I like it! That fits. Like if Ayn Rand and Nietzsche had a baby it would be me.
