@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz I think a good analogy to draw here is crime. Nobody wants to get robbed or injured or whatever, so obviously people hate crime. Nobody wants crime. But as much as you may shout "crime is bad, it must be banned", it will never go away. Refusing to think about other solutions to protect people only does one thing: make you feel good, because you can declare yourself morally superior by claiming that refusing anything but an absolute ban is accepting crime to a capacity. What many people don't see is that this kind of absolutism is essentially inaction and contributes less to our society than those who they perceive as enemies.

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip exactly this!!
Politics sucks but the universe doesn't deal in absolutes, you need to somehow try and get everyone to agree enough to make a reasonable compromise in reality.
Because as much as you're entitled to not like some other people or their opinions, you still share the world with them, and they're entitled to human rights as much as you are.
I genuinely feel like this concept is lost on many people in today's age, where everyone has significantly narrowed their social scope.
