"Put Me In the Zoo" has an absolute death grip on our household
My grandparents used to argue whether people they disliked were evil or stupid -- he'd insist that racists were just ignorant, while she explained they were evil. Both thought they were being kind.
Daryl hilarious to see everyone dithering about whether we should support a guy with a Nazi tattoo. Hey, you know what? If he really did get a Nazi tattoo by accident…? That’s almost as bad. “I may be a total moron, but I’m not evil!” Is a p low bar.

I keep telling my colleagues this and they look at me blankly.
We regularly use the word "faith" as a synonym for "religion" in everyday language, without thinking about how this language reifies a Christian norm of what "religion" actually constitutes.
