    Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.

    it’s like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.

      A couple of options:

      1. Imagine the media circus that would occur if Garcia came home. He’d be plastered across every website and front page of every newspaper, which of course takes attention away from the Toddler in Chief. Furthermore, the GOP doesn’t want Garcia to talk about how absolutely inhumane the conditions he would have been subject to, for obvious reasons.

      2. Bringing him back is an admission of wrongdoing, and that’s one thing the GOP and Trump can’t do under any circumstances.

      3. They can’t bring him back, because he’s dead.

      I don’t think nt have a strong inner monologue but how in the hell can someone lay their head down at night and just not hear a shrieking voice screaming in their head, "OMG What have you done!!? " Once that’s gone, once the humanity is flushed out of you so thoroughly, only the can I no longer pity your soul.

        Do not other him, do not de-humanize him, or anyone. Ever. Pity him absolutely, hate him if you’re inclined.

        Everyone is born a human, be they typical or divergent. Whether they are typical or divergent, we are all human. The whole point of shifting to “neurodivergent” was to reduce the dehumanization of those with differently structured brains.

        The owning class live in their own bubble of affluence and excess. Their lives have been fundamentally different than that of the working class. They have devised their own morals, their own ethics, their own nations and religions and empires for all of human history. The owning class are just as much the products of imperfect human systems replacing imperfect human systems, as are the working class. It’s all generational trauma, year after decade after century after millenia.

        Yet, they are still human. To think otherwise is to consider yourself superior in a fundamental way. To think “I would never do that!” without considering how the fundamental differences between your upbringings is a judgement call made in bad faith.

        This is not to say I think they shouldn’t be punished to the full extent of the law. There is absolutely still personal responsibility regardless of your upbringing. But when we base or bias our systems off of/towards rewarding adversarial human emotions should it come as a surprise when we raise adversarial humans?

        Regardless of their nature or nurture, we are all humans, we are all stuck on this planet together, and boy is it heating up fast.
