An interesting interview with Jacinda Ardern

I think there is this idea too that kindness is a weakness, and a government with that as a mainstay is also weak - or possibly communist.

It is though the same kind of thinking behind support for militarisation, for strong border maintenance, for limiting or selecting refugees, and for internal tough on crime stuff. Unfortunately, it also finds the race to personal wealth building admirable, even when it becomes patently a symptom of mental illness, and celebrates othering in order to bolster self esteem.

Lots of things wrong with the way we as a species operate. Thank goodness though we can still be optimists. Even if some days that takes effort.
