TheOkHornedRat 01/20/21 7:48:36 PM #9:	A willingness to accept that everyone can be wrong and generally not hold it against someone so ridiculously hard when they are. Your ability to tell someone they are wrong and be told you are wrong without being a giant asshole. We have seen the result of the opposite type of thinking displayed much more prominently lately. When you tell someone they are wrong and they are an awful piece of shit for being wrong you drive them into the arms of extremists. You give them a target to say "this person who vilifys you does it to me too." We are too late for a lot of people. They have gone past the point where reasonable discourse is a viable solution, but they are a small minority. The more people we push to the fringes the bigger that minority becomes.
