Well, take the necessary measures to prevent those atrocities, with others that agree - but in discussion, your goal should always be to collectively come to a better understanding.

 

I believe that ultimately, no matter what you do, you should *always* consider everyone, first and foremost, as your peers. If you need to defend yourself or others, that is unfortunate. It is good to fight for our collective interests. But I think that it is also important to keep in mind that our collective interests includes *everyone*, including those that are working in the opposite direction of yours.

 

I think identifying *foes* rarely helps you in your fight, and can often make the issue harder to resolve adequately, or permanently.

I can understand their anger, but the thing is there are those who I've tried to sway away with sources and evidence, but they just shut it down. Ideally I wouldn't have to identify people as foes, but I'm viewed as a foe by them so what other option do I have?

I do not see what you lose by *not* identifying them as foes.
