    Their children and grandchildren … who are adults (and most probably already retirement age since she’s in her nineties) and if they need to rely on the questionable inheritance of a necklace they never even knew about they have more problems than a doddering old relative reliving her past glories.

    That’s the real indictment, that we have a system where people care more about their inheritance than their family.















  • And you don’t think that’s a problem? That you identify more with people who’d rather do nothing and let everything burn down around you out of spite than do literally anything to help?

    It’s not even like they’re saying “This person is the greatest person who ever existed and should lead the world!” They’re just saying “This guy isn’t as bad as you make him out to be, maybe give the process a chance instead of giving up entirely”.





  • So support people instead. Just because those parties are full of people doesn’t mean you have to go all in if you support a few of them.

    The process is what we have, and we’re not going to make it better by refusing to participate in it. At best we’d make things worse and it collapses… and it gets a lot worse. Then maybe we can replace it with something better. If someone worse doesn’t get there first.

    Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good-enough-for-now, especially if it means millions are going to suffer for the inaction.
