Yeah, I see this kind of sentiment everywhere these days. Just because people disagree about things doesn’t mean it’s a subjective issue you can just wash your hands of. Sometimes you just have to dive in, figure out who’s right (or less wrong) and hope your assessment is correct. It sucks if you’re the kind of person who wants to never be wrong, but the adult world is messy, we often can’t afford that luxury.
- jacquesm 5y agoThere is this thing called 'False Balance' of which this is a specific example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance
- emptysongglass 5y agoThank you. I was wondering if there was a term for this. It is, in my opinion, the most caustic force across public places of discourse today. Humans seem to have an overriding need to "balance the books", perhaps to avoid conflict with their peers or presume logical conclusion must hold two sides in equal reverence. There is nothing fair about this rape of a country, no feebly concocted realpolitik to soberly justify the murder of hundreds and soon thousands of people who want to live free of an abusive parent.
