I'm still hoping that X wins. I'm hoping that we learn how to coexist with a diversity of viewpoints. It seems counterproductive to partition everyone up into their own little gardens, without any viable opposition to the dominant views.

Many people hold worldviews which are ontologically incapable of co-existence with other viewpoints. By reducing discourse to intergroup sparring and affinity signaling, the intermingling of various such extremists only solidifies the status quo.

True, but those people can move to Bluesky, and a lot of them have.

Yes. But The base of this thread is talking about how we can just "talk it out", when the disagreement is of things as base as "are [insert people here] inferior beings?"

No, I had centuries of ancestors fight so that question has a nigh-objective answer. I'm not going to entertain the argument to "expand my worldview". Why would I? That kind of talk is basically saying you don't respect me as a human being, so why talk with someone like that?

If you're going to say something is reductive, maybe they should try not to make outright misogynistic tags trending. This was barely a week ago.
