To my American readers: Tomorrow, as you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, you might find yourself across from someone with very different political views. Before the tension rises, consider this: there’s a decent chance that some of the most inflammatory political content you’ve both seen this year was created by someone in Bangladesh or Morocco, turning American polarization into a literal side hustle.

So we should stop letting folks halfway around the world profit from making us hate each other. Your uncle who votes differently from you? He’s not the enemy. He’s just on the other wing of the same bird. And last I checked, birds need both wings to fly.

So smile, pass the mashed potatoes, and remember: we’re all in this together.
