I hate that the idea that we should all be kinder to each other has been co-opted by the worst people.
It used to be this subversive thing that came with showing kindness to those in the margins, like when Mr. Rogers shared a pool with a Black man.
Now, kindness is more about shutting up and ignoring atrocity in favor of being polite.
Without fail, when someone says we need to be kinder to each other, what they really mean is poor people need to die quieter.
