Not surprised to find Sabine in the comments. She's been totally infected by the YouTube algorithm and captured by her new culture-war-mongering audience. Kinda sad, really.
We should be trying to stop this from coming to pass with the urgency we would try to stop a killer asteroid from striking Earth. Why aren’t we?
