Saw an idiot on social media say, "Sometimes you have to knock it down to rebuild", in response to Trump killing the Department of Education. I asked him it he figures Trump has a concept of a plan to rebuild critical institutions.

I have begun entirely rejecting bullshit mantras that begin with “Sometimes”.

“Sometimes” is dismissive self-justifying word salad. Give a confident, circumstances-based ideology, or shut the fuck up.

Sometimes thinking is too hard

Never really thought of the effect that "sometimes" has on a sentence, but now I see your point. God dammit, I think you've infected me with your knowledge. I hope the "sometimes" cop-out is not as wide spread as I fear...

It’s 80% of the mantras of villains in fictional media. “Sometimes babies must be killed etc etc”.

Accelerationist claptrap. These people have given up hope for real progress, so they're going to hand over full control to the billionaires to see if that fixes things.
