You can just say, “If you’re not with us, you’re against us.” It’s shorter, and less weasely.

- AlexandrB 5y agoIf I wanted to say that, I would. Clearly I failed at getting my point across. Out of curiosity, who do you think "us" is in this case?
- slingnow 5y agoThe "us" is clearly the people inside the system you're referring to (left / right). And for people outside the system, the "us" is often both the left and right interchangeably.
- dbsmith83 5y agous = the left or the right; the system; etc. You're basically advocating that someone should be on one pole or the other. I think your premise seems dishonest: First you gave an assumption about an 'unjust' system and explain why not choosing a side is bad, but then later on you say that not choosing a side isn't 'inherently wrong' to try to not seem judgemental. It comes across a little manipulative tbh.
