One of my least favorite things about the culture I currently live in is that people believe, without a doubt, that there are two sides to every issue. Every news story, every decision, every fucking thing needs ”both sides” to weigh in. And the world gets dumber and less interesting and more myopic. There are hundreds and thousands of viewpoints on any given topic, but if we get a couple of the most inane then we’re totally covered and the world goes on being “fair.”
I mean I get that not kicking babies in the face might seem like a clean cut issue, but have you ever discussed it with a pro baby face kicker? Obviously there’s two sides to the story here!

Not only that, but it gives the other side a dangerous amount of legitimacy if we treat “both sides” as equally valid.
There are a lot of beliefs and opinions that are just bad and should only be ridiculed.

I know some babies that need to be kicked in the face.
Like Trump?
They never told me that was a career option in high school.
This has to be one of the most harmful lasting cultural effects of the internet… Every moron with an opinion deserves a platform now apparently.
