Can we just state the obvious? Conservatives are horrible human beings committed to inflicting suffering and misery on humanity?

I've seen some of those books that got rejected and they seem pretty sus to me. I don't think labelling 1 side like you did really helps the conversation. It's annoying that both sides hold so much hate for each other that no rational Discord can be had. I'm fed up with all this labelling to cause divide
I don't like Kitler's framing of it, but I get where he's coming from.

I've spent the past several years having conversations with people.

I've been polite, even to people that were legitimately openly white supremacists, because I thought it would make it more likely for people to listen to me, and debate honestly.

I've been factual, providing sources and arguments to every single claim. I would spend hours researching stuff, even to the point where it was legitimately straining on my marriage.

In the end, none of it ever mattered.
My politeness was virtue signaling. My sources were propaganda.
My arguments were twisted to bizarre versions of themselves.


We can't talk about how black people have life harder than white people on average, without people claiming racism is gone, black people deserve a hard life, maybe if they didn't have single parents.

We can't talk about black people having a harder life on average, without people claiming that "we hate white people".

We can't talk about climate change without people complaining that it's all a government conspiracy, it's not real, the science isn't settled.

We can't talk about vaccines without people complaining that it's all Bill Gates conspiracies, a government conspiracy, we're being experimented on.

We can't talk about transgender people, or even that biology is way more complex than what we learn in a middle school classroom, without someone calling people they think are weird, rapists and pedophiles. 

We can't even talk about the existence of gay people without being called pedophiles.

I don't hate white or straight or cis or Christian people, just because I think other people, that aren't those things, also deserve a good life. 

I don't hate conservatives. I just wish they'd listen to reason, stop making enemies out of every fricken thing they don't understand.

And when it comes to climate change, I wish they'd actually try coming up with solutions instead of being this:
