“being combative” is not a constant character trait, but rather a response behavior.
And everyone can be wrong even in their strongest opinions, including yourself. Would you prefer to be the “roadblock that needs to go” when such occurs, or you’d rather have a chance to correct your opinion?
Unlike the popular belief, people can and do change. Your words here haracterize you just as combative on the matter. What makes you better than any other human being? They too believe their ideas to be the correct ones.
Treating anyone, however wrong in their ways, as nothing more than an obstacle that needs to be removed, you only make yet another person hostile towards you and your ideas, making everything only worse.
You treat them as less than human, unworthy to have a dialogue with. They treat a group of people as less than human too. The only difference is the pretext. The cause can be good or bad, it doesn’t justify crappy behaviour.
I’m not saying “turn on another cheek”, I’m saying that an individual is not responsible for the deeds of another individual, both of which you’ve attributed to the same group. Groups are abstractions anyway, people should be judged individually and based of their actions, otherwise it’s just plain bigotry.
I also said that it’s only human to make mistake in your judgements and worldviews. That means that someday anyone could end up on the receiveing end, yourself included. If such people are ostracized, it will only lead to further radicalization of their erronous views, further polarizing both sides of conflict.

You don’t open dialogue with Nazis, you punch them. Likewise you don’t debate bro reactionary rightists, we’re not playing that Charlie Kirk bullshit game.

Cool, which is exactly what this comic is about. The individual man is being a dick, and getting judged for it.

I have been wrong many times, and I’ve been rightfully ripped into for it. I’ve grown because of that. I do not accept that as a reason to coddle pricks.

What makes me better than a misogynist and I should be nice to them too?
That’s your argument?
Not the main one, but sure.
