i'm not focusing on him. i'm focusing on the current news of him stopping treatment for brain cancer, and how i saw someone saying something similar but then watching them get dogpiled. why acknowledge anything good ever if that's what twitter looks like?

the point isn't even really him. it's that in the past 5 years, it became a radical act to say "this person that i don't like did one thing that i do like" and that is fucking terrifying.

No, it hasn't. There are plenty of people I disagree with who I can praise when they do something good. You are, in this case, talking about someone who is *a bad person*, and who has consistently shown that through his actions.

If we tolerate evil simply because it occasionally does something that benefits us, we are complicit in that evil.

this is basically taking the position that we shouldn't ever negotiate or attempt to find consensus with those we disagree with (because it makes us "complicit in evil"). this is where resistance ends and radicalism begins.

No, I'm saying that when someone has a sustained pattern of behavior, that they consistently engage in, then that's who they are. If they want to try to change? Good, I'm all for it, but a single act is not change. Change is a constant, ongoing commitment to be *better.*

We can disagree on tax policy and education and a whole host of other things, but when you back someone who views other people as subhuman, and WILLINGLY act for his benefit, you can go fuck yourself right the fuck off.

how is this backing him???? dude. no one is saying he's a good guy. no one is saying anything like that. no one is backing him.

this whole conversation is proving my point. that you can't stray. you can't acknowledge one good thing someone did without suddenly being on their side. there is no room for discussing something other than defining someone as good or evil, and that's... not good.

No, it hasn't. You're trying to find what you want to find in order to prove your point, but not once have I said "you agreeing with John McCain on this one thing makes you an evil person and we're now on opposite sides."

I've never said you, or anyone else that thought McCain did a good thing was evil. I'm pointing out that saying he did a good thing there is naive, because it's not *good* to clean up a mess, it's *expected.*
