>Just let them be. And they will let you be too.
I think this is the point of contention. I don't think the type of person I'm describing will 'let you be' if you make an argument that falls outside their worldview. And the tone of the resulting debate is more often than not fairly toxic. The result is just more division.
- asveikau 7y agoSounds a lot like paranoia to me. What do you think will happen?
- MrScruff 7y agoI'm speaking from experience. What happens is that strength of feeling is used as a substitute for quality of argument. Those that dissent are accused of insensitivity or worse. Perhaps you've never had this experience but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
- asveikau 7y agoOk. So if I may ask, what happened to you? If you don't want to say, that's fine. I have had many kinds of ludicrous mistreatment or misunderstandings in life, but I try to not extrapolate them to all humanity, or even everyone expressing a political view, or even expect that they recur from the same set of characters.
