Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit

Nobody’s born a nazi, and in my opinion painting millions of people with a broad brush solves nothing even if feels righteous. There’s a whole spectrum of people ranging from apathetic to ignorant to hateful and inflammatory.

As funny as it is to call someone an idiot for voting based on the price of eggs, it lacks empathy for what that might mean to some people. What if all you’ve been eating is instant ramen with an egg to pay for a medical bill that insurance didn’t cover and now you can’t even afford that.

You might be more inclined to scroll past yet another “Trump says wild shit” headline but engage more with right wing Tik Tok content arguing that the system is broken because of the ((woke-ism)) and ((DEI)). Even if you don’t believe it, now the social media algorithm has your weak spot and can put you in an echo chamber to exploit it…

Are there still people out there waving swastikas and chanting racist shit in red hats? Sure. But screaming at them won’t change anything. If someone can be changed, you’re not going to reach them now with lecturing and scolding. It’s not kiddie gloves, it’s taking a realistic approaches to convince real human beings

  They said nothing to get “yeeted” by mods.
  
  You, and others, however, have either been outright violating rule 1 (be respectful) or are sure as hell skirting that line.
  
  And before you start crying unfairness, people who have attacked you have been getting their posts removed too.
  
  So how about before you decide that us mods are super, duper, trooper unfair, you maybe take a look at the fact that you’re getting a benefit.

Careful citizen, it seems you’ve had a little too much to think.

More seriously, I wish you all the luck in the world with convincing people that their personal two minutes hate isn’t a good thing.

Doesn’t help that there’s a lot of people down so low that idealogical elitism and self righteousness is nearly all they have going for them. It’s a legitimate issue that there are a bunch of people who are so depressed about the state of the world that they end up defining themselves by the fact that they aren’t part of the “bad group”, so any humanization of that group robs them of something vital to them.

  My challenge is many of these people voted to directly remove my equal rights and to potentially place me in a camp. How do I deal with those folks?
