11 days agoWhile violence behind diamond mines is real and should never be forgotten, don’t be obtuse. It’s not some thing you pulled from dirt.
It’s still beautiful. It’s still a gem. It’s still something that naturally formed over millions of years in the crucible of fire and pressure beneath our crust. That history is astounding and something people can marvel at.
Don’t begrudge Geoffrey Farrow his wonder at the world around him.

Wanting to minimize harm by voting for someone I don’t want to because there’s a chance of working with them to further reduce harm means I’m a white supremacist that views an abhorrently persecuted population as non-human. Kamala and Biden weren’t running around saying the USA is going to take over Gaza and turn it into a resort. Trump is.
You play the hand you’re dealt - not the hand you wish you had my dude.
People voted for the least shit-covered sandwich, and you insinuate that we’re monsters? Lmaooooo
