If you advocate principles like reason, due process, and free speech, you'll be attacked by extremists as if you were on the opposite side. In fact that would be a good definition of extremism: policy that can't survive exposure to reason, due process, or free speech.

It doesn’t matter to them if your views are differing from that of their opponents. They brand you a heretic for not believing in their views. Enemy’s enemy is friend doesn’t always work.

I think deontology vs . consequentialism (or heuristic reasoning vs. first principles reasoning) represents one of the biggest fundamental chasms we have in society. And am starting to accept it as an inevitability. There are big benefits to both ways of thinking.

Unfortunately there is no standard protocol for deontologists and consequentialists to effectively debate with each other - they are often speaking past each other. Like two alien species. The best we can do is to try to understand each other.
