:( For you, Americans, it all might seem a bit abstract and detached. For us, it's a very heated and real class war. And we do not take prisoners.

- dang 10y agoI can accept your description of the context you're coming from, but you need to modulate your behavior when stepping into this context, a considerably different one. That's true for every one of us here. Given how little information we have about each other, it's trivially easy to make false assumptions about others (such as who is an X and what are the qualities of "you Xs"). By default, that leads to conflict, and conflict on the open internet leads to the wasteland (and I don't mean great modernist poetry). Therefore, we need ways of actively preventing that from happening and we all need to practice them consciously. That's what I'm asking you to do, and stick to.
