So is that cowardice?

Probably.

And I think we all have all of those urges within us.

I think we get into real trouble when our side's good and their side's bad.

Yeah, she does it constantly.

And, I mean, she's incredibly brave.

She's also incredibly smart.

So it's fun to watch idiots try to argue with her and just get owned.

And that doesn't mean she's right and they're wrong, although I think she is.

It just means she's better at this than they are, and they just run chin first into fucking haymakers.

You asked her why she was doing it, though.

What did she tell you?

And so I asked her one time.

I was like –

I was a little worried, you know, it's like, everybody knows where you live.

And I was like, what are you doing?

And she said,

I was silent the last time this happened and I didn't really understand what was going on.

And I just told myself that if it ever happened again, I was not going to be silent because silence is complicity.

Silence is approval.
