    Yeah, I feel like the right has such a black-and-white/zero nuance view of things. So then the left goes and does the same thing!

    My sense is that these A*AB movements are really trying to say, “the institution of X is fundamentally flawed,” and that’s something I agree with definitely. But it’s worded provocatively, which is just…assinine. Like, the little old lady who would be priced out of her home if not for renting out a room to a college kid, below market value? Yeah total bastard…

      No, they aren’t saying that. It’s grouping people based on one characteristic, then becoming angry at the entire group because an individual did something unrelated you don’t like.
