minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down2·11 months agoAny argument based on “us vs them” is flawed by default.
minus-squareShardikprime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down3·11 months agoYeah, like, who are “they”?
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down6·edit-211 months agoNazis, terrorists and/or communists. In abstract, no definition or distinction. Just don’t think about it too much. “They” will fit one of these. But for sure, trust “us”, because we’re definitely not either of these.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoI don’t know many communist per se (mostly other flavor of leftists/marxists) but most of the folks around me hold wikipedia in high regards.
minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoI definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing. But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816 My point wasn’t even judging Wikipedia. I just think “us vs them” is a horrible framework for reasoning.

minus-squarenephs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoI agree wholeheartedly. :) My commentary was an observation about “us vs them” way of reasoning, only. I’m happy for your lemmy karma success!
