Abso-fucking-lutely 100% the correct take right here. We need to absolutely be wary of opportunists trying to remove nuance from the situation. That doesn’t mean don’t be realistic about the horrors, that doesn’t mean treating the vile guilty parties with kid gloves, it just means ensuring we don’t let our outrage carry us away with the current. And we have to be honest with ourselves that there are legitimately an astounding amount of outside forces and actors trying to manipulate the situation from all sides to score wins and promote dangerous ideologies.

Seek justice, seek peace, yes absolutely, but don’t let yourself become an unwitting soldier in somebody else’s war.
