Its always crazy to me how proponents and opponents never address each other’s points. They just talk past each other saying their own completely unrelated points. A: “But what about kids in abusive households that get cut off from communication” B: “We have tools to ensure kids safety that requires actively using our social network already” that’s a frustrating way of having a conversation
You're assuming they're trying to have a conversation...
It annoys me that they are presented as opposites, people segregate themselves as if they are opposites, imagine the other side is opposite, and then when you actually look at the stances they aren't opposite at all and probably actually reconcilable
but yes, “opposing” is more accurate than opposite. people just seem to only have the mental capacity for two opposites
