Liberal guilt?

21. For the most part I agree

I have no problem with trying to resolve conflicts peacefully from the get-go. Michael Moore's new movie that is out is a perfect example of what I think you're talking about. What I have a problem with is, once the conflict is already in progress - a great big example being the Trump campaign - you're dealing with bad people acting in bad faith, with issues like racism, misogyny and sexual assault. You don't tackle problems like that by finding middle ground. In this case, you have a direct agenda and you very much want people to do what you want. No more racism and more sexual assault per my example. That's a deal breaker. I'm not saying you have to be violently aggressive on the attack, or act in bad faith just like they do. But you have to act knowing that they aren't coming to the table with the same agenda that you are, and I have a problem with people insisting this is the case. It comes across almost victim blaming. It can sound like, "If only you were nicer to the racists and tried to understand them!" Nope. As soon as the vile garbage starts to spew, it's game on, and I will side with right every time. I will never tell victims they have to try to understand the garbage spewers. That's nonsense.
