I am not on a side. I just think it's sobering how people who normally condemn conservatives and extremists swing their flag quickly into the other direction when they consider that to be "the correct side".
It's also pathetic that people in general seem to be unable to accept that someone who is a victim isn't automatically also righteous and out for peace.
The correct side is simply the one which is considered to have less power. It's simplistic and dangerous and makes me believe that many are teenagers or young adults who want to basically rebel against whatever.
That's not thinking about the people involved, it's not thinking about possible solutions or the future. Rather they just block warden each other in who is the most virtuous.
You really didn't address what I was saying at all. You just re-framed talking points that are going around and then acted like this is about virtue signaling. Why even take the time to write back?
