Right, so conservatives don’t have goodwill which means they’ll twist anything regardless, self defeating argument

See point 1.

Wasn’t putting you in any box, just pointing out that generalization is bad, and that you were participating in that behavior. People will think what they want and not being informed enough of what the social implications of words mean is exactly why both sides are at odds. Get it or don’t get it.

Well I appreciate the reasonable response. I do think it's important to reduce the ability of conservatives to twist liberal actions but you are right that a good portion will find a way to do it anyways :/

The social contract one? Yeah it'a a very elegant way to avoid the issues for sure
