    It’s both. I’ve been called a Trump supporter, a “Jew shill”, and a liberal snowflake, all in the same week. I find it fascinating, talking to very opinionated people. Doesn’t matter what it is. Even if I think they’re right about whatever that topic is, I find that people become incredibly hostile if you ask them something they don’t have an answer for, if it might challenge their beliefs.

      I find that the people who purport to an academic view of fights over human rights tend to be those whose rights are not (now) in question, and that they find more entertainment in the emotions at play than in empathizing with those who feel said emotions makes me question their willingness or ability to change their own stance.

      Neutrality is a starting point. Where you choose to go from there is an expression of your character.
