obviously this doesn't apply to human scum like neo nazis and the like but just the regular conservative/liberal divide. i am a liberal, most of my family are conservatives and we all know where we stand but get along well. i have conservative friends and we get along great. people that can't tolerate people that disagree with them are p weird tbh

I think it really depends on who the person is and what their political opinions are.

Like, as someone who is more liberal, I have a hard time developing friendships or having political conversations with people who believe that something like gay marriage (or some legally-binding union of two consenting, loving adults) should be prohibited by the government. To me, that opinion is advocating for the quashing of human rights, or at least privileges that have been afforded to other demographics, and I can't understand it.

Anyway it's w/e, my blood pressure rises when I see something that, in my opinion, is extremely absurd, but I've learned to not engage it when it does come up. I'll just patiently listen to someone and let them talk but I won't agree or disagree :\

for me it just depends on whether they are passive about their beliefs or in your face. if someone opposes gay marriage on some kind of ideological stance but keeps their opinion to themself i can live with that, if they say hateful things or constantly bring it up that is a character flaw imo.

really people in general that are in your face with their political beliefs are awful, regardless of where they stand. i can separate disagreeing with someone from actively hating them provided they aren't openly hateful or aggressive

I never said I disagreed with them. But this is the first liberal post in this topic that doesn't use the word "snowflake," so that's progress. Good job.

My beliefs/values/whatever tend towards centre-left, but the sheer arrogant attitude of a notable proportion of the left is extremely irritating and generally repels me from associating further than "we share a common end-goal(s)".

It really depends on the political beliefs. I can understand agreeing to disagree about taxes, the proper way to fund education, and so on. Those are all things where we all have the same goal: for people to live good lives, have money, and have opportunities.

But I have family members who post poorly researched memes on social media just to troll people. In some cases they've lost touch with their children or parents because of their shitty behavior. Sorry, but people like that deserve any negativity they get, and they're not the types who should be tolerated.

reallife people don't act like people hiding behind usernames.

When you have a conversation with someone in person they aren't going to suddenly start attacking your character because it's easier than actually defending their stance. They'll either defend their stance, concede the point, or change the subject.

people that just subscribe to a belief to troll aren't serious people, i am more talking about people who genuinely hold beliefs that aren't purposefully hateful and such.

No, they actually believe the things they see in the memes.

Also, some political beliefs are essentially "fuck your rights" (for example, being against gay marriage or being in favor of a gun ban).

if there are people actually like that they are scumbags. i can somewhat understand a legitimately religious person that is deluded into thinking things like gay marriage are a sin or w/e without being vindictive are still good people, but people that just take a position to be irl trolls are garbage tier

The media deserves most of the blame tbh. Whether it's conservatives with their Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News, or it's liberals with their Daily Show, CNN, and late night hosts. They all try to dehumanize the other side by constantly misrepresenting and belittling each others views.

The only way to find middle ground is to have honest conversations, but that's becoming increasingly difficult. Because of the media, most people don't have an accurate understanding of what their "opponents" actually believe, so they end up either arguing over non-issues and throwing insults or just avoiding debate all together.

obviously this doesn't apply to human scum like neo nazis and the like but just the regular conservative/liberal divide.
...aaand you lost me.
i am a liberal, most of my family are conservatives and we all know where we stand but get along well. i have conservative friends and we get along great. people that can't tolerate people that disagree with them are p weird tbh

So you admit that you hate some groups with different views, yet apparently don't understand how some people hate some groups with different views?
Please tell me that was a troll post because the alternative is so much worse.

You're adding your own baggage to his statement by bringing up "equal respect" out of nowhere.

He's saying that you should be able to understand why some people hate those with different political opinions, because you also hate a group for having a different political opinion. It doesn't matter how extreme that particular opinion is. The fact that you can hate a group for any political opinion suggest that you should be able to understand why others do the same.

not really, as not all beliefs are valid and some are predicated on evil. ignorance is not the same as malice, and an ideology based off of malice and hatred is one worth taking a stand against

well yes, i guess if you want to be pedantic i don't understand why people hate other political opinions unless those political opinions are explicitly hateful and serve no purpose other than to propagate ignorance. i stated this in the op though so idk why you are highlighting it.

do you think it is bad to hate political opinions like supporting genocide or are you just being purposefully obtuse?
