That having been said, reading the discourse in various comment sections is making me extremely hopeful for the future.
There are so many genuine ethical discussions happening everywhere right now, seemingly across the political spectrum, and without the usual thought-terminating cliches; instead, people are taking the time to explain their ethical considerations in detail.
Honestly, I think the discussions about this event give us a glimpse of what is possible when media outlets aren't (succeeding at) generating misleading political framing and 'false polarization'.
