I agree with those entire article! I have been very pleased at times to agreeably disagree on Steemit leaving the topic feeling likely I had an educational experience.
Other times though I feel like hanging my head into a wall because dogma and absolutism have replaced listening and a willingness to even consider the other person's perspective.
Thanks for posting!
Exactly, one-sidedness and the extremes of any side leads to people not listening or hearing the other side/demonizing them.
There is so much in the media of "this side did that" and "this side did this and that omg!!" but we forget that 90% of us are somewhere in the middle of it all,and the fanatical 5% on one side and 5% on the other are the ones who need to calm down and talk to each other.
