Yeah, the disconnect behind the methodologies and desires allows open spaces to be filled with loud hateful idiots, it’s hard to just progress as a society when one side is so motivated to be hateful in the vacuum of saner people going elsewhere. Not entirely sure what to do about that. It feels like a paradox or a catch 22, it’s hard on the psyche to inhabit a space that’s hostile, but moving out of it just enables loud hateful idiots to be louder, and feel they arent opposed until that space becomes a walled garden of nazis and bots circlejerking their hate.
Which i think is why we approached it wrong. I watched something with Lefty’s where they just want to be right. When that doesn’t happen they get so mad. Like an injustice has occurred. What I noticed with rightys are they enjoy watching the lefty attempt to change their view while fully knowing it’ll never happen. It’s like some schadenfreude. I think we need that. Logic and reason will come later with some people. I think it’s recognize you’re dealing with an immovable object and just turn it into a play thing
