    Haha. Yeah. I’m not a pacifist, but I wish war wasn’t a thing. And I don’t judge people for a single belief in most cases.

    People are complex. How they arrive at an opinion or outlook is complex. I for one feel we can agree to disagree or have different outlooks and still be cordial or even friends.

    I’m friends with people that lean in many political ways. I can generally separate one’s politics from the person they are.

    I wish more were able to debate without resorting to reductionism, or straight insults or extreme labels and yelling.

    If you can’t talk to your enemies or those you disagree with, you drive them away and dehumanize them.
