- mmooss 2y agoYou dictate what someone else thinks and if they disagree with you, they must be manipulated. That's quite a powerful position to be in.
- willy_k 2y agoYour previous comment implies the same. Regardless, I’m not saying that anyone who disagrees is necessarily, just observing that the natural consequence of said manipulation would be to hold a dogmatic insistence that “it’s them, not me”.
- mmooss 2y agoIt's mis- or disinformation to say that all sides, all people are the same. It's the ultimate cover for people doing wrong - it eliminates any 'wrongness'. A corrupt politician might say, 'everyone is corrupt'. Now their flaw is wiped away, in a relative sense. But it's not true.
