@p ohhh duh, yea your right. Brain fart :)

@p I was thinking about that too. bi- is latin and tri- is greek, so reallt both uni- and mono- work as prefixes here since its too late for consistency anyway :)

lololol

lol every liberal politician ever.

@peterdrake do you have a link to the archive I can keep an eye on first?

@fra By the way to be clear I am NOT accusing you of being one of those extremists. Not everyone (only most) on the left or right are extremists. The ones that arent just happen to be blind to it on their side is all.

@fra Well sure "there is no extremism in defending human rights".. well there is if you arent actually defending human rights but instead perceive of a human rights violation that doesnt exist and is clearly absurd on the surface, but pursue it as a human rights violation anyway. In other words if you view rational discussion as a humans right violation and start screaming someone is racist because they ate a taco or some other absurdity, then yes, thats extremism.

That fact that you think extremism of such form can never exist because it is done so on the back drop of human rights is a rather concerning gap in your logic.

@fra Since we are talking about how individuals tend to act towards othersm I'd be unable to give you examples since I do not know you in person. It may be the region you live in doesnt have thi problem like all the other areas of America I've visited.

Its also possible that it runs rampant around you and you are just blind to it. I cant say since I dont know you personally

@fra lol, funny how that works huh? Usually when people, particularly americans, join an ideological group they quickly become blind to that groups faults, even as said group descends into cruelty to others.

It is a sad phenomenon but one that has been documented time and time again. It is the root of all human ugliness really.

Dont get me wrong people on both sides are well intentioned, they are comvinced they are working for good, which is a small glimmer of hope I suppose, for all their cruelty that comes from it though Im not sure it is much of a comfort.

In all my years of hearing the left cry about some guy they just met (in person) being a racist or a facist I cant recall a single time there was even a hint of truth to that.

@fra Let me guess, you think half of this meme is true and applies to the one extreme while the other half of the meme doesnt apply, I;m a;so going to venture a guess and say the half you feel that doesnt apply is the half of te spectrum which you happen to be on?

When I visit america I see this meme play out in the most absurd ways a dozen times a day among strangers, among friends I'd never let people like this into that circle in the first place so....

@Saederup92 When a person or people are easily manipulated you often find that they are, in fact, manipulated. It makes more sense to focus on the people and their shortcoming than the media that is simply exploiting an advantage the people have created.

@AtlasFreeman Except that he did, at least the equivalent of such in his native tongue. This quote comes from a translation of his "meditations", specifically this is the wording using in this translation:

Meditations: A New Translation, First American PB Edition Edition

@Saederup92 If people can be manipulated by the media then it is still the peoples fault.
@poetgrant@fosstodon.org

@poetgrant@fosstodon.org Well all that is based on current population support (in terms of percentage). Debates on TV and access to a ballot is in no way explicitly written to give any one party "free access", it is based objectively on measurable figures, usually polls.
