Listening to others that hate my values and wish me harm? Ain't happenin'. "Consensus not made by force?"
The Cannon Law: He who hath the cannon maketh the law.
I value trade, exchange of goods, value for value. Use of force is not how trade works. That's how thugs work, and I want no part of that.
I strive to be the change I wish to see in the world, and I also strive to invite people to share in my values. When in a social group that meets some particular need of mine, I will (and should) keep the consensus in mind. I have to do that at work, or I am unemployable. But I'm being *paid* for that. I tend not to engage with very many social groups. Hell, while I'm philosophically Libertarian, the Libertarians don't want me. If I see something stupid in what they are doing, and I say so. Currently, the LP is behaving as if they are the stoners in the bleachers of the Republican Party cheering when the QAnon freaks parade on stage. I'll have none of that thank you very much. Consensus with them on that? Nope. Never.
