tell me more of this Jesuit blood sport
You can tell a lot about a person by how civil they are to those they disagree with. People obsessed with civility are usually property owning white people who want not much to change. You can't be civil to people trying to kill you. Civility is for those with nothing at stake.

another reason is that the whole concept is inherently asymmetrical and tied in with hierarchy. you can freely oppress people while being perfectly civil. you can’t resist oppression while being civil. so a moral code that obliges everyone to be civil entrenches power structures.

Civility = complicity. They are demanding our complicity.

Civility doesnt work for you because you cant win arguments. If you try to defend gender identity of course youll end not being civil. You will loose argument and start being emotional and less civil.

Yeah, people don't have gender identity it's all a lie cooked up by the cloud people and Obama turned my frog gay with chemicals. c=======3

Well said. Easy to be civil to people groups, when you've got a jackboot wedged upon their head, pointing an assault rifle at them. Thanks for always calling out the B.S.

MLK said something about the white moderate's refusal to allow black people to express their anger or join it with their own…sounds a lot like this debate over "civility."
