feelin pretty bad living in a hyper-polarized polity

feeling like people have raised the stakes beyond what is reasonable. your reputation, job, family, and sometimes even physical safety shouldn't be in play just for talking about stuff.

I mean I kind of agree but how can you be kind and charitable with people who are e.g. racist?
-
if you're really absolutely certain they're racist you can stop talking to them and move on. a lot of what happens though is a person merely disagrees on some specific point, but they are called racist as a silencing tactic.
-
and yes, you can be kind and charitable even with actual racists. they're still people. they believe some things that are unkind towards others. will you convince them to be more kind by being unkind to them?

I call it good cop bad cop
