I agree, but I try to stick to downgrading the comment/argument instead of the people themselves, because I’ve found it to be a pretty ubiquitous line of thought since I started noticing it.
- m463 6y agoI was listening to an episode of Joe Rogan, and the guest considered himself a conservative. Discussing the differences between a conservative and a liberal he used an analogy of a fence, where a liberal would want to take it down and a conservative would want to leave it up. It got me thinking if this was true or not. A little digging and I found this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Chesterton%27s_fence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Chesterton%27s_fence "Although the purpose of this fence is not obvious, there may be valid reasons for its presence." (I'd like to think I'm in the mindful middle somewhere)
