there was a false dichotomy. when presented with two unjust options, the third option is always to fight for justice. that's why smarmy "tips" on how to make friends and influence people for someone bullied are a farce when you could be spending this time shouting at bullies.

You assume that people can forego their dignity, like it's some malleable, insignificant thing. See here:https://twitter.com/PLT_cheater/status/1085781363805048832 …
That's a good point. I more or less don't care about being right so much as finding the best answer. I'm not sure that's the entirety of "dignity", though...

And I might be assuming that other people can let go of their beliefs as trivially as I can.

You can't do that( let go your belief), it is a illusion and a belief :D

based on our conversation, i think you need to have a very long thought about what human dignity is, and what oppression is, and why it's bad.

I'm trying to find the best way to reply to this, but I honestly find it quite patronising. I've barely even been oppressed, but on the couple of occasions I've experienced even the mildest oppression, being bullied at school for example, I reached out and talked to the bullies.

talk about "best answer" without saying best for what purpose means nothing.
-
I think there's a reasonable interpretation of "best" when applied to an answer, isn't there? The "answer" is somewhat abstract in the context, but a reasonable interpretation would be "most correct", "most logically reasoned", "most factually accurate". Or did I miss something?
