      The bad ideas lost gradually over the last 500 years due to people having better ones & arguing for them.https://twitter.com/mar_de_palabras/status/892161998783488004 …

      I just don't know of any reading of the history of justice where extremists backed down because of rational discourse

      You are suggesting there has been no improvement whatsoever in the last 500 yrs? And you're an American?

      I don't know and wasn't talking to you @j_razor101. You can stop @ing me, or get blocked. Your choice.

      Yeah but you're very unreasonable & rude. I wasn't addressing you when you multi-tweeted me demanding I justify the world not being perfect

      I mean, it does say "raging at extremists...fuels their extremism" which can be read as: justifiable anger is not OK / this is your fault

      OK in what sense? Everyone is allowed to rage. I'm talking about showing the problems clearly & why they're problems to beat them.

          Yes. I think it's more productive not to.
