      Almost any group is capable of having extremists who are willing to do something stupid. Being stupid as a response to extremists being idiots is exactly how divisions grow.

        true. but quite frankly, if someone can’t at their very core agree to the ‘golden rule’, what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.

          You want to be equated to the most extreme people who share your beliefs?

            a belief that they should treat others the way they’d want to be treated?

            this is probably a trick question so i don’t think I’d answer it correctly
