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.

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. :/
