She doesn't seem so nice to me. Wishing that a whole category of people you disagree with would blast off to space doesn't seem nice. Especially as wanting that to be part of your dying words that everyone will remember you by.
Indeed.
Sounds pretty hateful to me. And just the sort of self-righteous attitude that makes a villain believe they are the hero and feel justified in committing genocide. The interesting thing about modern politics is how often people can hold views that seem so obviously hypocritical to me. On the one hand they will rightfully express displeasure in a groups hatred of another group on the basis of race or nationality. But at the same time they hold with a similar and often more extreme gile for other groups organized by a more arbitrary classification. And somehow this is perfectly moral and even laudable.
Its sad how common this is. But its not new.
I wonder if she could articulate the so-called "far right"'s views in ways that they'd find recognizable.
Of course not. If she could, then she wouldn't use that label for all of those different people.
Also, in my experience "If you meet somebody who disagrees, first of all listen to them, because maybe they’ve got something that you hadn’t thought about" almost always just means "Everyone who disagrees with me should shut up and listen to people who agree with me."
Kind of goes both ways, cuz I did it too-ish.
(Tho I think I considered and rebutted her framework more respectfully than she ever could have, let's say, Musk)
It does often go both ways but I don't think you did it here.
Also, you don't exactly exude that Kumbaya energy. "Shut up and listen to people who agree with me" is closer to your general vibe.
True dat. I flatter myself I could treat an argument with proper respect... Just so rarely do it, ain't nobody wanna read that

Nope, I don't think so.
That's always been a right-left divide: right-wingers/libertarian types able to steelman lefty arguments but the lefties living in pretty insane echo chambers thinking that everyone outside their lane are literally Hitler

I certainly wouldn't want to make any political statements as part of my last words.
She also doesn't seem to heed her own advice: "If you meet somebody who disagrees, first of all listen to them, because maybe they’ve got something that you hadn’t thought about" I wonder if she could articulate the so-called "far right"'s views in ways that they'd find recognizable.
