We agree on the first point! I’m saying some means are worse than others, and shame/guilt is one of the best ones.
As Dave pointed out, we need to taboo “enemy”. “This person’s actions are bothering me; I’ll minimize annoyance” is treating the person as your enemy in the sense I was using it. Not treating them as an enemy is “This person is trying to do good, yet their actions aren’t the ones I think are best; I shall update on what they believe, and tell them what I believe so they can do same; if we still disagree, I’ll minimize total annoyance among us both”. If most people are your enemies by that definition, you’re… not typical audience for social justice rhetoric.
