who said anything about escalating? i am merely discussing correctly inferring people’s motivations.
getting up in arms about it is another thing altogether and i don’t need to pretend that the line cutter has some pure motive to not confront or escalate.
- taeric 2y agoMy point is that one line of thought is more likely to be escalatory? Is literally how I entered this thread, if I'm not losing my mind. (Which, fair, debatable.) I am also not arguing for you having to assume pure motivation, oddly; but against assuming bad motive. My reasoning for this would be pointing at how many people are constantly escalating small encounters.
