I know you’re right, but I often wonder what would initiate change.
Anecdotally, I quickly tire from reading or hearing arguments full of the polarization labels (liberal/conservative/neocon/neoliberal/etc). Wonder if I’m alone in this.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoYeah, those labels are beyond useless, and it's just a shortcut for a caricature of the opponent in the mind of whoever uses them. E.g. someone who is vaccine-hesistant might be lazily pigeon-holed as a dumb racist Trump supporter. People use "socialism" to think Sweden but the other side thinks China and Nazi since they know the "zi" stood for socialism and that means Bernie Sanders wants to gas his own folk.
