Although I agree with the idea of deradicalization, peace, and neutrality as a goal, I also have a problem with peace at all cost.

It's all good to be neutral until your rights are radically denied. Then, categorical and radical positions are justified.

But then some rights can be gained in the legitimate political process. That's what politics is for, and it works to a degree. When it does, it takes effort, discussion, and compromise, and that's where centrism is helpful. I am not saying this is always feasible, but I do think this path is underused. In part because it's hard to remain motivated to work this slow process.

Oh my word, this is so true. And not just on this issue. Bothsiderist bullshit will be the death of the United States.

I'm just so happy that Botherism, Whataboutism, and Gaslighting have all become mainstream in familiarity. I've been railing against this shit for over a decade and let me tell you, the tone of the internet has drastically changed for the better.
