    “Meet in the middle” says the unjust man.

    You take a step forward, he takes a step back.

    “Meet me in the middle” says the unjust man.


    We do not negotiate with the unjust man. We do not take steps in his direction. Our refusal to surrender to his demands is not a cause of “polarization”.

    Do not shift the blame on those who will not step toward the unjust man. If you are so blind to what is going on and who is at fault, that is your failing. Yours, and yours alone. Not others.

    Rhetoric like yours is nothing more than shameless victim blaming. It makes you the unjust man.

      Spoken like a Russian agent or a petulant child. I can’t tell which, but I don’t actually care. Sewing discontent, pointing to yourself as a victim. You might as well be sitting there with your arms crossed and your tongue out.

      Now I see why my original response riled you up so much- you took it personally. You are the problem.

        Giving up on any pretense of rationality, I see. “No, you” stops being effective about the time a person hits puberty… but this is about what I expect from someone casually spewing fascism-enabling “enlightened centrist” rhetoric.

        You do you, but don’t act surprised or high-and-mighty when you get called out. Grow up, do better, or get used to it. Your call.
