That's what I was referring to. Not appeasement exactly but seems like similar logic.
- roenxi 4y agoThat logic is nothing like appeasement. Or if it is then appeasement is a great strategy that we should all be using daily at all levels of societal organisation. Making enemies of people who are not enemies is one of the stupidest moves imaginable. It is hard to overstate how mistaken that sort of mistake would be.
