Oh, believe me. I rarely speak with anyone about anything of consequence without running into a clash of axioms.

I'm not necessarily trying to convince extremists

I'm of the opinion that you solve problems by truly understanding their nature

I have opinions on the nature of this particular problem, but never feel as if I _understand_ it

I see, that makes sense

i agree

@Bookworm I'm familiar with that, but usually I can pinpoint them and understand their appeal to the other person

Honestly theres people who leave the understanding to another

Even if I don't find it appealing myself, or have other experience/opinions that lead me to reject it

Its like the ones who say socialism is good because they trust their teachers

i agree

Not because they studied it to understand the nuances of the system

Which id argue is the essence of the npc meme

So Sayoc is in prison for being too close-minded and being so stupid he sent bombs that didn’t even work to public figures

i actually agree

Is that the supposed magabomber?

@Xombii Rubin? Is that you?

I respect your approach, velvitonator, it's similar to Daryl Davis, the black man who befriends the KKK.

Also to Robert deniro because he’s a bad actor

Just some random looser somehow intelligent

i totally agree

The problem, I think, is that Daryl has way more in common with the KKK than I think you have with the far left.

Lol

He does more than I ever could

Daryl is a nice person and enjoys things normal people like

Music, beer and bbqs

i literally agree

Pol is just as much of a box as anything else

I argue you only turn away hate by being better and caring.

Just keep it inside

If they refuse just dont interact.

And well the cognitive dissonance will do its work

if i agree with everything no one can argue me right?

Now the problem is most kkk members are just.. members. They dont usually make it their own identity

Daryl's stories on that front are really interesting

Its not like the lgbt thta make being gay their entire thing

agreed

If they make hate speech a law, will they charge people who have done hate speech before it was illegal? Now I know you can’t be charged for crimes that were committed before the law. But will they go that far?

if i agree with everything no one can argue me right?

I know of the one where he supposedly got a grand dragon to speak positively of him at a meeting

I know a couple
