My favorite thing is how things that can potentially solve problems are dismissed out of hand because they aren't perfect solutions. Don't get me wrong. Good solutions are better than bad solutions. But (and racists and nationalists seem especially guilty of this) some people seem to say "THIS perfect solution, or NO SOLUTION AT ALL!"
Fuck that mindset. We have to make things better one step at a time. If you need a "perfect solution" or a "final solution" there is a historical model you can follow. When the walls come crashing down and you realize that you will be held accountable for your crimes, there is a reasonable course of action you can take.
Or... if you're feeling experimental, you can try to treat all mankind as your brothers and sisters. Sure, if you do that you risk getting kicked around a bit by those who would take advantage of you. But you won't ever be placed in a situation where shooting yourself in the head as the Allies approach Berlin seems more preferable to owning up to what you've done.
Long story short: there are worse things than welfare mothers. And those who speak loudly against socialism and welfare are likely to be one of those "worse things."
