[quote=FlyerInHi]ZK, you’re a good man full of compassion.
I am more practical. I feel that compassion is best spent on people who deserve it.
When people have strong beliefs, you’re wasting your time on them. I feel that right wingers should be treated in a practical, rational manner devoid of compassion. I treat right wingers like bad tenants: evicted! or you’re fired!. Not my job to understand their dysfunction. There are plenty of good tenants to replace them.
You didn’t push back on your friend. You tried to counter his arguments with reason; and that puts you in an assymetrical inferior position. You said that he calls liberals “snowflakes, unpatriotic, etc…”. What about if you called him similar names?
Learn from Trump. If someone hits you, hit back twice as hard. The Trump or Kim Jung Un theory.
ZK, you’re a good person. I admire you. Just know that you’re in an asymmetrical relationship and you’re turning the other cheek all the time.[/quote]
If your position is, “If someone hits you, hit back twice as hard,” then I can see why you would think I’m in an asymmetrical relationship. I think that’s a foolish position and one that will inevitably result in escalating conflicts and a lack of peace, collaboration, and progress.
