- newswasboring 7y agoAre you implying that the out group is them? But that will mean that there is no out group, everyone is in the in group and thus we should listen to everyone's opinion and give it credence.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 7y agoCorrect, “them” is always an out-group. “Us” is always an in-group. Everyone is human, we all bleed red, death is a part of life, and all that. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we should attribute everyone with credibility, however. But we should certainly attribute everyone with humanity. Unless “them” identify as non-human, I guess.
