Except they’re also giving it to their kids, who are far more susceptible to the diseases

Darkest of Days. You’re one of Custer’s soldiers at Little Big Horn who gets recruited to be a time cop and travel around the timeline fighting in historical battles with ridiculous futuristic weapons to create “balance” or something.

Gross, olives.

Sorry, I mean the “collective we.” Of course individuals do build compassion, but look at the state of America and tell me that the collective we is different than I stated.

Totally wouldn’t work. We Americans believe in a brotherhood/sisterhood of suffering. If we suffered, we believe that others NEED to suffer as well. It’s why nurses are terrible to new nurses, why so many people are against forgiving student debt, and why so many parents refuse to acknowledge their children’s issues. It’s all “I lived through it and it sucked, so you need to too,” mentality. We didn’t build compassion though suffering, we just wish it on others, too.
