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.

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

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.

Seeing people hold this kind of views is fucking depressing.

No one is more confused about reality than the ones claiming to know "the truth" Some even name their social media platforms like that.

As an autistic person, wholly agreed. It is like people are actively trying to isolate and dehumanize us autistic folks.

Advocating for OP, that's the learnt way they see how they can become comfortable.
