The “the average Austrian writes 3 antiwar poems per year” factoid actually is just a statistical error. The average Austrian writes 0 antiwar poems per year. Georg Trakl, who fought at Gródek and wrote over 10.000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Blaise Pascal — Discours sur les passions de l'amour

Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.

Acting now is better than panicking now. Having acted yester decades (centuries?) would have been better, but we do not have that option.

Complacency is not an opion. It's not a way of life. Quite the contrary.

Lots of room for improvement here. Let's go for zero, folks.

We should stop this madness, indeed. ‘If global aviation was a country, it would rank in the top 10 emitters’.

I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room. -- Blaise Pascal

Meanwhile over here, our corrupt shill of an MP is mouthing away about final solutions to the immigrant problem.

We really should have learned our lesson. But we didn’t, apparently, and now the brownshirts march again. Sad times.

The Onion offers tips on how to politely engage with people who cage migrant children

“Recent incidents of Trump officials being confronted in public for their role in the administration’s separation and imprisonment of immigrant families have driven renewed concern about the lack of civility in U.S. politics. The Onion presents tips for staying civil in a debate about child prisons.”

Avoid unkind generalizations like equating the jailing of ethnic minorities with some malevolent form of fascism.

Recall that violently rejecting a tyrannical government goes against everything our forefathers believed in.

Make sure any protests are peaceful, silent, and completely out of sight of anyone who could actually affect government policy.

Give your political opponents the benefit of the doubt by letting this play out for 20 years and seeing if it gets any better on its own.

Realize that every pressing social issue is solved through civil discourse if you ignore virtually all of human history.

Avoid painting with a broad brush. Not everyone in favor of zero-tolerance immigration wants to see children in cages—it’s more likely that they just don’t care.
