I am reminded of this banger of a song by They Might Be Giants:
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend

I know it's because the artist is Muslim but I really wish non-Muslims were saying this.
Lots of us have been, way, way before the governments of Europe were willing to say as much. Trump, and most of Congress, is still a bunch of complicit assholes. We're just not made out of cartoons.
They do, a lot actually.
I'm aware, just want more.
Benjamin Netanjahu is a war criminal
Now, I agree with her, but the cartoon falls flat.
Reminds me of the dinner party with Storm and the glances from the protag's wife.
She's not just being chill she is being 100% accurate.
It's no different than going to a dinner and saying Adolf Hitler was a bad guy.
Guys come on, it's christmas. Even Hitler had a family...
still chill
I mean... Obvious facts are pretty chill. The sky is blue at noon. Healthy grass is green. Genocide is happening in Gaza.
I don't get it. All I see is someone being chill.
Her mistake was sitting at a table with anyone who would deign to disagree with that statement.
I mean, its pretty common knowledge thats extremely agreeable, right?... Right?
By now, yes. I remember getting into an argument shortly after Oct 7th because I already had an idea what was about to happen. I wonder what that person says now.
Yes, and a pretty extreme case; but so are most recent U.S. presidents.
she only speaks the truth
It's pretty chill that they said that
Yeah, seems chill to me.
Things can be both factually true and bad dinner conversation at the same time lol
Meanwhile everyone else will just use vieled comments to punch down and instigate. But that’s fine because they’re “just telling it like it is”. Fuck that shit. Walk into every room decrying nazis and shame anyone who protests. It is impossible for things to be chill while fascist abound, they’ll make sure of it.
I mean, they probably didn't say that out of the blue, right?
I have my reservations about the curly-haired one who expects friends to shut up in front of bigoted hosts.
Seems pretty chill to me
I know, I just can't do anything about it. Would you please pass the butter?
...you already have, here's some salt.
"Thanks for telling me, but what am I supposed to do about it? I've got work in the morning and deadlines are getting tight."
Just being aware of it is farther than a lot of other people have gotten.
That's a pretty chill thing to say if you're among chill people.
but then, if they were chill you wouldn't need to say it at all.
Sometimes you just want to express the truth.
...she's way chiller than I am...
Nicholson meme: you can't handle the truth
