    i view it as everyone is wrong about shit sometimes. the real problems arise when you’re wrong, powerful, and unwilling to be flexible

      Yeah. I just have a real big problem with Tipper Gore sending the FBI to wreck up Jello Biafras house in the name of making music that I like illegal and forcing me to listen to whatever the fuck Tipper Gore wants me to listen to. Fuck them both. But hey, if they save the world from climate change maybe I’ll forgive them.

        For sure. In that moment Gore was wrong, powerful, and inflexible. He wound up being more flexible than his Republican counterparts, but I think you’re well within your rights to say they’ve never properly repented for those actions. They’ve mostly just kinda been like “its in the past, just let it be in the past” when it’s like… Man, you were an arms dealer in the culture war. You got the power and the platform to combat climate change by harming queer, black, and queer and black kids.
