lol i'm curious as to whether my posts calling for a more balanced alternative rather than simply viewing one half of a country as demons ( since all trump supporters are being painted with a the same brush by many ) may be some of the posts you are reffering to
just in case, to set the record straight - i am a black man
its just that i understand where these conflicts are heading and unless people start to take a more rational route, everyone will suffer as a result
i'm sure it feels great to get swept away by moral outrage... but its not really a solution to the problem and actually funny enough makes it worse

Standing in the middle sometimes means accepting some evil. Are you sure you want that?

jesus christ, i didn't say anything about standing in the middle
do not understand the difference between being completely emotional about something as opposed to addressing it in a rational way?
letting your emotions run how you operate does nothing beneficial with regards to solving a problem and beyond that it often puts people in a state where they can easily be manipulated
that's how we get groups like antifa and black lives matter where people become the very thing they claim to be opposed to, because they allowed themselves to be swept along by their emotions
and accepting some evil? i hate to break it to you my friend, but experiencing and perpetuating evil is an inescapable consequence of living as a human being... if you've somehow started to labour under the delusion that this is not the case then you are divorced from reality
that doesn't mean of course that we don't try to reduce it but this nonsensical utopian ideas that just some human beings are evil and if we educated them properly, evil would go away entirely are not only unrealistic but cause nothing but harm when people start to believe in them
the fact of the matter is that EVERYONE manifests evil tendancies but they do so in different ways and generally have the view theat their actions are not evil and that is pretty much the cause of most of the problems in the world from my perspective
