The reality of EVERY government shutdown is that both sides are only concerned about whether or not they are getting blamed. As long as the public is pointing at the other side, either is happy to hold out for their budget priorities. Thinking one or the other cares or is more to blame is childish.

Is it possible that this app was secretly created to identify the unhinged people who celebrate things like the death of Charlie? It seems to have that effect, even if unintentional.

Standard BlueSky Post:
1. Announce extremely narrow view of some event or action by the opposition,
2. Create outrageous reason "why" based on nothing but a hatred for the opposition,
3. Cry for others to be outraged based on Fascism, Racism, or Nazism.

I think if you deleted the posts on here that use the FERN terms, this site would cease to exist. Come on people, we're supposed to be smart, let's expand the vocabulary! Stop using Fascist, Extreme, Racist, and Nazi!

My summary of government:
1. Some humans are greedy and cheat to increase their wealth.
2. Humans decide to make laws and establish governments to ensure fairness and prevent no. 1.
3. The greedy humans then take over the government and increase their wealth that way.
