"Welcome, to a managable number of actual refugees."
"Make Trans accepted and EXCEEDINGLY rare."
"Manage M1 but do not print your way out of debt."
"Accept Gays and Lesbians...but don't promote kink. Also...after LG the whole alphabet thing can change into something else entirely if you go out far enough."
"A little Spanish can be useful! But learn English."
"Vaccines are a great idea, but need to be watched like a hawk."
"Let's be more empathic without sticking it to men, the rich, Christians or people of European descent."
"Let's acknowledge our problematic history and also take pride in how awesome we became in so many ways."
"Let's be tolerant as a rule of thumb, but not of the intolerant."
"Let's house the homeless, and not confuse them for the drug-addicted and souls suffering from mental illness"
"Love who you want! But for god sakes, have kids and raise them to be normalish."
"Racism *remains* a problem...but much much less than it used to be!! Let's take our wins people. Great job!"
"White Christian European men did a lot of bad things...just like everyone else. The problem was that they were so good at doing things that they did bad things at scale. And MAN did they pull off miracle after miracle. Hats off to our founding fathers. Warts and all!!"
"Let's acknowledge that markets do not work perfectly people as their zealous supporters claim!! But damn...what an amazing idea for lifting people out of squalor!!"
"Worship almost however you wish to worship. But don't be a murderous or intolerant lunatic about it. Just chill bro."
"Don't use mean language when you can avoid it. But don't be a pussy or go around being a killjoy-nanny-policeman either when you can avoid it. Use judgement."
"Your identity deserves to be celebrated! Briefly. Because it is interesting...but not that interesting. Everyone has one."
