To build off this. Part of why people, who come off as reasonable and decent in person, can get so…very…VERY unhinged online is that
Tap for personal opinion
you don’t have to see the reaction of the people who read/hear what you’re putting out there. Even in places where you don’t actually have any real anonymity, there’s an assumption that because no one is in the room with you while you madly smash away at your keyboard…well… People used to say there’s no girls on the internet…I feel like most people just type whatever like there’s no PEOPLE on the internet…
TL;DR - can’t see people being disgusted with what you just said.
People are generally very breakfast cereal. One musn’t get worried about that.
And the incongruity here. Preferring the one kind of government for one kind of society, but the other for another. That’s a big deal. Bears discussing.
It’s one of those things that you wonder why nobody ever pointed it out.
