    No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they’re still collecting dividends on it!

        Yeah. Just like theatre guys tell others to “break a leg”. There’s no context. Every one of them is a psychopath for wishing harm.
