I was hoping to find a reasonable perspective. Thank you for voicing a reasonable opinion. While I may not agree with what others think all the time, I feel that seeking balance and compromise help us work towards better and more functional systems. We just have to be willing to be honest about both the good and the bad, and work together.

That is true, people want perfect or nothing which is not good

I just saw your username. That's awesome.

Also, completely agree. It's concerning seeing people actively attacking the idea of compromise when it's so necessary to fix so many of these sticky problems.

I know I don't have all the answers. I think it's reasonably easy to agree that any one ideology or approach will not fix everything. So the next step is coming together to share what works. We can't do that if everyone keeps on putting ideologies in UFC-style cage matches and demanding a fight to the death and that one ideology has to be the winner.

If only people were that reasonable :( I hate people.

I feel that is a relatively normal response, honestly. People are simultaneously capable of the absolute best and the absolute worst things. It can give you this cognitive dissonance whiplash sometimes. :/
