    When one pole is Nazis, I must insist on polarization.

      @jensorensen This certainly explains the alarm bells that go off in my head when I hear people say it.

        Funny how the accommodation in committee is always achieved in one direction

          @jensorensen fascism relies on people submitting before they're even asked to

            Polarization : 2020's :: Class warfare : 1990's

            And 60% of America has no fucking clue what any of the above means or how to read it.

            @OvertonDoors @jensorensen I was going to say I wouldn't be surprised if this cartoon goes straight over the heads of 60% of Americans.

                @jensorensen I've often felt the same about the word 'divisive'. People who draw attention to a division are so often accused of causing the division.

                All it comes down to is people who prefer ignoring problems over solving them. People who, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, "prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice."

                Yeah, absolutely this.

                I get very annoyed by senior leadership types who use "divisive" to mean "disagreeing with me", ignoring their own instances of genuinely divisive behaviour.

                  @jensorensen completely disagree. Used polarisation precisely because it’s extremism becoming evident at both ends of the spectrum and mastodons might like to think on that.

                      @jensorensen Question for our hard of hearing comrades: does capitalized alt text sound as yelling in your applications ?
