We gotta get past the individualism of “everybody has to believe xyz.” It’s not that everybody has to have a good, moderate, both-sides belief system. It’s that society has to produce an outcome that is fair to all parties. Those are two different things.
By which I mean, I understand the good liberal line of “we have to stop demonizing each other and recognize not all cops are criminals and not all black people are criminals.” Or “not all poor people are lazy and not all rich people are thieves.” I understand it, but I disagree.
Our responsibility isn’t for every individual to have a “both sides are flawed” view. Like it or not, people will continue to see things from where they’re standing. Our responsibility is to work towards a balance of power at the societal level.
Put another way, I don’t care if the rich hate the poor or the poor hate the rich. I don’t care if the blacks hate the whites or the whites hate the blacks. I care about if the rich dominate the poor, as they do. If the whites dominate the blacks, as they do.
We get too caught up in every individual having a good liberal outlook full of equanimity and civility and whatever. Fuck that. I wanna know how is the power set up, and how can we set up more fairly.
And in fact, I think two sides hating each other can HELP achieve a balance of power sometimes. But anyway enough of that sermon.
