18. We have two mutually exclusive views of life and of animal forms.

The ICE people, and all Republicans really, do not see all people
as human beings, but rather the non-whites they see as dangerous
animals that need to be eliminated from the country... one.

And their view of life is one of social darwinism and rugged
individualism on the part of white people led only by white men,
not one of shared cooperation, inclusiveness, and thought...
two.

Thus, if we expect them to think and believe as we do, we will
always make the mistake of judging them by OUR lights, not
theirs.

They think they are doing God's work, trying to set up the
world for those who are truly worthy... white people led only
by white men.

There is no way to fight this on their terms. We have to think
together and organize en masse to show them that we are the
vast majority of people in this country and that we will only
live and believe on our terms, no theirs.
