Its not about being cynical, rather, not falling for the "assume good intentions" trap. The world has simply too many narcissistic people for that cosy "we are one tribe" mantra from the left to be safe. It isn't.

- piva00 2y agoYour whole comment is basically you justifying a cynical position though.
- ordu 2y agoI'm sorry, it was not my intent. I believe, that people develop from naivety to cynicism and then to a balanced position when they use different heuristics to choose the starting point to analyze a situation: sometimes believing in good intentions sometimes presuming egoism. I don't want to justify any of that, there are no sense in justifying, either people are cynics, or they are naive, or they moved beyond this simple dichotomy, and it is their choice, they choose what works the best for them.
