Only in a totalitarian society do we all have to agree with each other! No one has a monopoly on truth. We should always be willing to assume maybe someone else knows something that we don’t know, and at the very least isn’t a bad person just because they don’t agree with us.

Pease take another look at your own views. Things may not be what they appear to be.

What if you can't reveal your political opinion b/c your client reps think all republicans are nazis? What if you can't write an essay that has a center right viewpoint in college because you know your grade will suffer for it? We think the left is wrong. They think we're evil.

Thank you MW for saying this.💗Mass media not only indoctrinates ppl into taking one of 2 sides on every issue, it also teaches how to attack ppl who don’t conform to your side. It is tearing us apart. There are more points of view than 2, & we should take a moment to listen.

There are times when we must agree on a moral truth in order to save others. Pacifists fought in WWII. Quakers were brave abolitionists. When we’re protecting others from immediate harm, there is clarity of purpose. Trump has only one truth-growing malicious calculated cruelty.

I agree it's important to stress this. For Progressives, our greatest challenge is the Educational Mission. People are trying to find their way to Answers swimming through an ocean of propaganda, innuendo, misrepresentations, etc. We've got to have patience if we want to succeed.

Trump said theres planes full of antifa super soldiers flying into kill people in the streets. Should we allow objectively false information like that to exist in the sphere of thought? No, its harmful and objectively evil to spread disinformation like that.
