6. That's not the answer, though. What I'm really asking

is a very old philosophical/moral question, which is basically, Why the hell are so many people so shitty to each other? I read about all the crap Trump and his minions are doing, which isn't that far removed from Nazi Germany, which isn't that far removed from all the other shitty behavior of humans toward each other throughout history. Animals kill to eat and they fight for territory and mates, but they aren't mean just for the hell of it. People, some of them, anyhow, are mean because they like it. What happy little tickle did Kristi Noem get from cosplaying as an ICE agent and parading her botoxed self and her $60K watch in front of that sorry bunch of degraded prisoners in El Salvador? Why does Stephen Miller get a woody when he talks about eliminating habeas corpus so he can send anybody at all to foreign gulags without any kind of hearing? What the actual platinum-plated fuck is wrong with these people - or is this just the way people are, and we'd all turn mean if the circumstances allowed it?

Right now I wish I could live in a hut in the woods and never see another human again.
