    By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”

      No.

      It’s good to understand why people, even those with whom we disagree, are making the decisions they are making.

      I’m sure you would rather those who disagree with you seek to understand why you make the choices you do etc.

            “The Jews could have prevented the holocaust if they’d just played devil’s advocate a little harder” is one of the most morally reprehensible takes I’ve ever seen in an online space, and one I simply cannot believe anyone can make in good faith.
