Most people just want a good life. If we stopped seeing each other as the enemies the world could be better.

    Idk one side wants to enslave, murder, and rape. The other does not.

    Let’s just be friends as they take away my rights and everyone I love rights away, we shouldn’t be enemies as they hunt down and murder someone for “existing”

    Maybe we shouldn’t be friends with the enemy and fight against the regime?

    This is one of the was Nazis came into power, by manipulating the mass thinking “oh we should all be friends” and now look what happened.

      solidarity means solidarity. other working class people are not your enemy (re: 1984). the all or nothing mindset accomplishes nothing besides closing your mind off to the plights and perspectives of others.

      There aren’t only two sides to every issue. Thinking like that is limiting.

        Regardless of how many sides there are, it is an undeniable fact that plenty of people (in the USA in particular, apparently, a majority of the voters) choose to be in (a) side(s) that want(s) to enslave, murder, and rape.

        And many others choose to be in (a) side(s) that enable(s) the previous one(s).

        No civilised society should accept any of those sides, or those that choose them.

          It seems that way because of the two party system brought upon by how votes are counted and winners chosen (winner takes all). If you watch jubilee, you’ll see just how fragmented both parties are (good example of pro and anti trump republicans). Forcing people to choose between one or the other has led to the USA becoming very black and white.
