your comment is entirely politcal, i.e. contributing more to the problem.
qui bono? we for sure don't bono.
- throwaway132448 6mo agoChoosing one (deliberately ambiguous) line to label the comment “entirely political” is the kind of thinking that explains why tribalism has been so effective.

- fsckboy 6mo ago"Focus on the people who foment and benefit from this division and distraction" is a political statement. It says: "don't talk about the actual issue, instead let's go after the enemies, we know who they are." It doesn't say "let's find them", it assumes we know who they are.
- throwaway132448 6mo agoDivision and distraction are the actual issue though. And I didn’t say you have to go after anyone, only be mindful of them (see my reply to another comment). I left plenty of room in my words to project your own approach, because I care about the outcome, not how people should achieve it in their own particular world. If in your world that means “politics” you do you.
