One of the media narratives
that I decreasingly appreciate
is the public platform of
'Political party X hates cause Y',
where cause Y is broadly popular
and makes a limited 'common sense'.
Where party X gleefully appropriates
an irrationality that defies explanation,
the better to separate themselves
from how other parties are seen,
they also mis-describe their hates
in terms that go beyond self-parody
on their own crony-media platforms.
When unity is at the expense of sanity
then allowing dissent feels like diversity,
still the breadth of charity will hard to make work.
