Noble sounding but actually a foolish recipe for hyperpolarization. Both sides think the other side is irredeemably evil and therefore they do not need to engage with them or treat them civilly. Yes, that's right, your opponents think you're evil too; shocking, I know.
And if that isn't persuasive enough, bear in mind that if people are forced to choose sides by hyperpolarization, one side is eventually going to win and it might not happen to be yours...
