We've become so polarized that we believe anyone who reaches a conclusion different from ours must be acting with willful malice. Sometimes, that can be true. But not always. We can't forget that some can be mistaken about the facts. Some can have a different but valid view that goes against ours.
If we would avoid rash judgment or calumny, we need to ask whether our views are true before we say that our opponents are guilty of knowingly siding with evil. Otherwise, we are to blame for the mutual hatred that divides us. Above all, we must reject the bulverism that claims one holds their position BECAUSE X. THEREFORE, YOU’RE SCUM.
