    I think it may be a mistake to avoid listening to positions other than your own because you internally categorize the sentiment as the enemy.

    It’s mildly inflamatory to say that critiques of a system are equivalent to “an infection” and can stifle reasonable discussion

      I didn’t say anything about not listening to it. In fact, I read it and engaged.

      I’ve listened to it on the right too which is how I know those people who’ve been saying it in the past.

      Frankly, your response makes so sense.

      I’m interested to know who, if not those governed, should be choosing how their government runs.
