Self-love does not deny accountability. Self-love does not mean we don't try to change or improve. Self-love does not mean we like or approve of all our habits or attributes.

And Hank's like, "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY ONE."

What radicalized you? Comrade, I was told "Sharing is caring" as a child.
