I had an idea for a new hash tag that would go beautifully with the QOTO mentality of bringing people with opposing views together. We can call it #OpposingSidePride or #OSP for short.
It will be a day where you show the things you appreciate about the other side of the spectrum.
For example if your liberal then you post something you respect about conservatives, if your conservative you post something you respect about liberals.
Each person who wants to participate should try to post one or more a day and when you see someone post something complimenting a group you are in try to respond with a similar #OSP back at them!
I'd love to hear everyones thoughts, if you all like it I can try to kick it off.

What's the opposite of an #environmentalist, I wonder?
@arteteco Climate change skeptics I guess?
@freemo Skeptics are alright to me, they are usually just not well informed, at least the ones I met. Even they'll admit the importance of having a healthy ecosystem thriving with life and providing us water, air and food anyway.
@arteteco See thats perfect then!
@freemo Yeah, but I still wouldn't know what's the opposite of environmentalist =D
@arteteco Well I think that is the closest to the opposite I can think of. People who dont think global warming and environmental damage is a big concern.
@Surasanji The problem is all humans can ever have are opinions.
Facts certainly exist but every human has their own opinion on what is or is not a fact.
The world would be much easier if there was some mythical authority who dictates what is what :)
@arteteco
Mathematic is tricky in this regard. 2+2 is not really a fact, is something that comes from a convention we can agree upon about how to interpret the world.
I mean, once 2 people both accept the premises of mathematics, they of course have to accept the consequences, but those are not really facts - more akin to pure logic, IMO
