But chu there's still a step between considering a "bad thought" totally moral and direct and opening ones mouth to say it, hence "pointlessly hurtful"--even if you're right it benefits no one to say it and only causes harm
so i guess the thought i have is why it is important for them to say it. i don't have a perfect answer, but most of the responses i've seen from people online are basically 'because they're assholes', or whatever.
most of the time when i want to say something but bite my tongue because it could be upsetting to people, i don't really care very much about saying the thing. exercising self-restraint, discipline, 'empathy' is easy in these cases. it's not a big sacrifice. but for so many of these people concerned with 'telling it how it is', it is important to them to say that thing. why is it so important to them for their shout in the wind to be heard? how did a relatively prosperous, safe, enfranchised group of people come to feel like their truth was being shouted down or censored effectively by the media or the intelligentsia or whatever?
it seems important to me in terms of healing this country but i don't have a good answer really, and all the ones i hear from my librul peers are incredibly contemptuous and reductive
And the "are you worth speaking to as a human being" standard is a misreading, that's not the conclusion being drawn here. The whole point of the article is speaking to people who have no compunction about airing their resolute disdain for immigrants stealing their jobs, without turning to the camera with a bombastic "these people! I know! Right!". This one bit is one of several observations and the authors own reaction to it (again, you can criticize as too broad and toothless, but I found it succinct and descriptive of the most basic reason to treat people with respect)
sry i hadn't read the article yet, doing now- that part was just me responding to mrmr, not the content of the piece

As A Person Who Answers Their Phone now, I find my jimmies slightly rustled when trying to contact A Person Who Does Not Answer Their Phone. But I understand, because I used to be like them. And they are doing the best they can.

At some point contempt is appropriate? I'm totally willing to put it aside to try to figure out how we work with large sections of the country that don't know anything about the world, but in the absence of an agreement to focus on that for a few minutes I don't think there's anything wrong with saying contemptuous, reductive things
probably there is something wrong with believing them though so once again i sit the fence
I feel like Brexit is a really tempting example to turn to because it's so clearly based on a lack of knowledge and lack of understanding
It gives John Oliver some funny fuel but there's some meat on the bone of what people googled the day after, and of course Farage and Johnson not running for pm is also revelatory
I get that just shouting at trump people and being mean doesn't help, but what does, when they're wrong about everything they think about the world? How do you start bridging that gap? Really tempting to give up and just be mean about them in private.
also fuck you chrome, revelatory is totally a word
My first Comcast bill is literally just the cost of my plan. Brought my own modem, don't have phone or tv so no 911 fees or emergency broadcast maintenance charges or whatever. No tax. Just my actual plan price, ending in in .99 and everything

In the early to mid twentieth century, the majority of the city’s libraries had live-in superintendents. Like the superintendents who still live in many of the city’s residential buildings, these caretakers both worked and lived in the buildings for which they were responsible. This meant that for decades, behind the stacks, meals were cooked, baths and showers were taken, and bedtime stories were read. And yes, families living in the city’s libraries typically did have access to the stacks at night—an added bonus if they happened to need a new bedtime book after hours.
