Your comment is by far the closest to my perspective; and I’d argue, the only healthy approach to online discourse.
I’ve honestly had a hard time taking this article seriously, because obviously Duncan is being very sincere, but the minset he describes is alien to me, and on some level, it feels like he’s arguing that people are broken for not having that mindset (though maybe I’m conflating this article with the facebook post it links).
Duncan sounds like he’s waging a permanent war and being mad at people for not treating it like a war, and while I understand the sincerity behind it, it doesn’t feel necessary and it scares me. So I appreciate your rebuttal.
