Alright, well I see your point. Maybe I was being too harsh and have said things that are uncalled for. NB has become increasingly toxic over the years and sometimes I guess I can conflate people who hold irrational ideology with people who may have one or two irrational viewpoints.
The thing is, we did argue about somethings which I consider to be objectively wrong on your part. The most notable one of course is financially punishing fat people for being fat. You also claimed to have been anti-war when we PM'd each other, yet not long ago you argued heavily in favor of a preemptive attack on North Korea. We've also argued about Islam where you believe the faith itself is the underlying reason for the terrorism and not the foreign and socio-economic history of that region which gave rise to extremism. Then you defended Trump and how he's not a racist. And just the principle of social safety nets and programs such as universal healthcare, where the fundamental argument was really people need to pick themselves off by their bootstraps and not mooch off of others.
It's positions like that where I found you incredibly ignorant and a lot of those viewpoints are held by right-wing commentators such as Ben Shapiro, Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, etc. and the fact that you can't see how erroneous and sophist they are in what they preach is depressing for an individual like yourself.
Yeah, we agree on some issues, but usually those are not the big issues. Most of our disagreements come into play when it involves benefiting other people, defending people from discrimination, or the causalities of war. And those are things I'm passionate about. And when you criticized me for having my moral compass influence my political stance, it really gave me a bad impression of you.
I can't promise that I won't get passionate again, but I'll keep in mind that maybe I was overly critical and will try to keep our discussions civil.
