These are the kinds of opinions people use to try and radicalize others. In the end, this only serves to reinforce an 'us vs them' perspective on anything someone loud enough signals as important. The texture of nuance is sanded down until there is only Right and Wrong. Now, whoever doesn't hold each of the same endorsed partisan beliefs is the Enemy.

- batch12 5y agoI am saying that the argument that a side must be selected is misused to apply to everything. This has devolved into a checklist of ideas that must be actively endorsed. > Aren't you in your characterization labeling someone the Enemy? Those who promote this ideology are enemies of us all. Edit: The discussion of politics is now the parroting of endorsed talking points. There is no unique or independent thought and it isn't interesting.
