Like, if you default to uncharitable assumptions, doesn’t that say more about you than about anyone else?
People don’t have to try to dissuade you from the unjustified belief that all your political opponents are bad people, who disagree with you because they are bad rather than because they have a different understanding of the world. Why would I want to talk to someone who just decides that without interacting with me? Sheesh.
My comment does not say anyone is a bad person. I mentioned specific disagreements like people lacking agency, copy-pasting what they see around them, or having an incorrect view of politics. I’m mostly analysing their psychology.
