And it's also possible that that's the exact position already held by the person you're lecturing.

Sure. But this is one of those stories that hits right down the middle in places like Lemmy: it's a fascist government causing harm to a company with a long history of anti-human operation. It's a total sweating-guy-two-buttons meme situation: "Trump is a fascist" vs "And Nothing Of Value Was Lost." Seems like most people are picking a side. I think we shouldn't.

I think people pick sides far less often than the internet likes to presume that they do.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I tend to agree, but the internet amplifies polarization. Not a great thing for discourse.

That's...literally what I'm saying with this comment.

Fair enough. I interpreted it as "why not neither," but believe both (despite sounding hyperbolic) are actually, verifiably true.
