You misunderstand. I 100% believe people are capable of evil.

In fact, I believe that humans are capable of random acts of evil, like mass shootings.

But I would say back to you that it’s difficult for us to talk if you refuse to believe that human beings can be fallible, and not every single action that enables or even propagates evil must be the result of a coordinated campaign to cause evil.

Do you believe that people are fundamentally incapable of random acts of evil? That in a country of over 300,000,000 people, and enough guns for all of them, a rare few aren’t going to do irrational things with them?

Is that impossible?

Sometimes, even most times, people fuck up. People do things randomly. People are not always motivated by reason and logic, and people can be evil at an individual reason without a desire to fight the things you care about.

I accept this. I have often experienced such people firsthand. I know how absolutely chaotic such people can be and how much confusion they can leave behind.

But you prefer to think of this evil as being contained under a single banner, identified and understood in whole by a champion, whose mastery of reality and control of its unimaginably complex variables must literally rival that of a god.

I just think that perspective is far simpler than my own.

But please remember that an illogical society is not an illogical world. The world doesn’t make much more sense without Q than it does with Q. You might feel that you have more answers, but at the end of the day, you and I are both still sitting together, still waiting for the Storm to hit in the way that Q promised.

I’m out of time, but I enjoyed this conversation and appreciate the time you took for it. I will read any reply you send. I know that you don’t believe me, but I do learn from your perspectives on the issues we discuss.
