    The people who talk about kindness are centrists. They’re the same people who want compromise between the left, who want rights and protections for citizens, and the right, who want to demonize and murder people. Do not tolerate centrists.

      yeah, anyone trying any kind of “both sides make good points” argument these days is probably someone whose personal rights are not at stake.

        They are also almost certainly a Republican who is pretending not to be one in order to gain credibility.

        Don’t trust anyone who wants to meet half way. Half way between “genocide” and “no genocide” is “half a genocide” which is known as genocide.

        There are three kinds of people who say “both sides” the apathetic, the Fascists, and the Libertarians (IE. Republicans who figured out being a republican makes everyone hate them)

        100% this. My parents live in a red-ish county. They’re very liberal themselves but constantly go on about how lovely people are up there and how they’ll really help you when you need it

        That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m sorry I can’t help but see them as people voting against my rights
