i'm going to ignore your posting history and assume for a moment you aren't a contrarian debate pervert.

Thank you for your consideration.

why do you feel the need to agree with people but then say 'but that's not how it works today'?

Because those people are correct. But at the same time, right now, there is no viable option (to my knowledge) to completely erase the things we agree on.

i see these types of comments in every comment section about societal problems. 'i agree X needs to change to Y, but we don't have Y today, sweaty. 💅' like- what? are you all really just trolls, or do you really think you're being insightful and helpful? because this isn't what a discussion looks like. it's dis-miss-ion.

I'm not dismissing anything; I'm admiting it is wrong while at the same time admiting there are no alternatives to end it today, tomorrow or in the foreseeable future.

The simple admission of something being wrong, opens the doors to debate. Debate generates change of thought. Change of thought enacts action.

We do not need to fully agree on anything and none of us is required to understand the other perspective but at best we may be cordial enough to respect that we are in our right to hold different opinions, without the need to consider the other is mocking us.
