Something of an appeal to the Left to stop eating itself & also recognise that we cld benefit from listening to the Right on occasion.
-
Most people, even those we disagree with most profoundly, care abt others & are trying to do the right thing. Recognising this helps most.
-
People who don't care abt their fellow human beings much don't tend to talk abt social issues.

We hear so much about hate being a driving force. I don't think many ppl are motivated by hate tho too often it's a destructive side-effect
-
A 'motivated by hate' label is good way to Other or dehumanize. 'We are have logic or high ideals, they only have low passion.'

Oh, it has lots of boundaries but they don't fit in a tweet. Gonna be abt how to have productive conversations on specif issues.
-
Ah! on specific issues. Right; that's at least a more manageable task. Good luck with that one then.

Not sure why 'just saying.' Undeniable truth which does not undermine my ideas.

The "middle ground" positions are frequently seen as extremist by extremists of one stripe or another. We live in crazy times.
