    The entirety of human experience and human condition does not fit into 2 “sides”, not even close, so it’s quite the acephalic approach to look at everything through the prism of a very specific one-dimensional line with only 2 sides.

    Absolutelly, have Principles, follow those Principles and then judge things according to those Principles when they do apply.

    Reducing everything of importance to “sides”, on the other hand, is not being principled, it’s being mindlessly tribalist.

      It is funny that you assume you are the only one with “Principles”, and then strawmanning the shit out of the opinions of everyone else.

        You just stated something about what’s going on in my mind, which I did not state (i.e. I did not state that “I’m the only one with principles”, not even close, and actually implied they do but go for tribalistic side-taking instead), and then you argued against that very own imaginary position you claimed I had, using an “argument” involving strawmen.

        I hope you can spot the irony if you think about it enough.
