Better way to say it imo, is that you have the extremist on the right expanding at a faster clip than the left. And most people do want to be moderate, they want to believe the middle road is justified & yet it puts them solidly conservative w/o them realizing it.
It sucks it does imo & if I saw equal reactions on the left then I’d call it out but I don’t.
The right has done nothing but contract for the past 150 years. “Conservatives” have continually met leftists in the middle and conserved nothing. In my country even the state church allows gay and female clergy now. I’m not a christian, but that’s the perfect example of the Right relenting even in their supposedly most sacred institution (though I suppose the bank has taken over that role for conservatives of the past century). Meanwhile, the Left has expanded at such a rate that the revolutionaries of two generations ago sound like today’s reactionaries.
All right, I’ll put it in as simple terms as possible, as you seem to need it.
I disagreed with that quote so intensely that I couldn’t even bring myself to explain why. I just needed you to know that the act of sharing that quote, let alone coming up with it, was pure cringe. Seriously “in this moment I am euphoric”-tier. I mean “the unjust man”… just cmon. It’s basically just telling you to be unyielding. Nothing but banal, vapid propaganda that could just as easily adorn the walls of the NSDAP as the NAACP.
“I simply asked if you have value.” All right, let me “simply ask” you if colored people have value. Infer anything from that?
Sorry about the replies earlier, I wasn’t in the best mood and I can only look back in embarrassment. You have your convictions and I have mine, and it’ll take a lot more than a comment thread to change our respective courses. The least we can do is be civil, and I failed that standard with my juvenile first reply. I should have just said that I think that the concept of “unjust” is somewhat relative and left it at that.
Are you quoting someone or did that pure cringe emanate from your own being?

Of course an unjust man would be unjust. Truly a profound statement. One for the ages.
Good job on the inference. Now I’m just left wondering if you’re being purposefully obtuse or just can’t help it.

Touché.
