It's a fair point. Unpopular in this community, but fair. Of course, nuance is rarely rewarded in online discussion
"If you're not with us, you're against us. Huh. If you're not an apple, you're a banana."
-Terry Pratchett, Thud
I like to eat apples and bananas.
Fediverse has turned into the truth social of disenfranchised progressives. Don't get me wrong I agree with many themes in this place, but the tribalism and unwillingness to refrain from immediately labeling a topic or person a total bad actor is pretty high. Everyone is a mustache twirling billionaire, redneck who hates trans and are Nazis, or a progressive hero.
