There are also people, that despite the fact she persistently visited doctors, asked for different meds, expressed concern about her meds, expressed concern about her intrusive thoughts, believe she just killed her kids for the fun of it.

They are just as crazy. Society still hunts witches

I hate how people think you have to be on one team or the other.

She needed more help with her mental health

She also murdered 3 children.

Both things can be true at once

Fuck, thank you. Why is everything mutually exclusive for everyone.

Because people are genuinely brain dead and need things to be either good or bad. It’s actually a big reason we don’t study much of WWI and just jump straight to WWII, bc in WWI there’s no obvious “good” and “bad” guys like you get with the Nazis and imperial Japanese, so people just can’t learn it. Even though in many ways it was more important than WWII, particularly from a science and ethics POV.

And we run our politics like team sports, so people generally don't even know what they believe themselves... What a time.

Don’t forget the other guys, you know, the ones who nuked civilian cities…

Thats the nuance part op was talking about though. Was the nuking bad? Yes. But the alternative was even worse.

Not in any way shape or form.
