I'm not telling you not to bring your values into politics.
I'm not some kind of relativism evangelist. That's a strawman that multiple commenters here are standing up.
This all started with one commenter saying that his outgroup is uniquely evil, and me replying that it was a matter of perspective. Both sides get to bring their values into politics.
- hsod 9y agoSaying evil is a matter of perspective is relativism.
- ogre_magi 9y agoThis is going to drift into a problem of definitions, as value conflicts often can. If your deontology considers me "evil," there's nothing I can do about that. I'm not going to complain about your use of the word. People are going to have conflicts, and some of them are going to become holy wars. Best of luck in the wars to come.
- hsod 9y ago"People are going to have conflicts, and some of them are going to become holy wars. Best of luck in the wars to come." What does this mean? I'm genuinely interested in your perspective, not trying to play gotcha or argue semantics.
