“Does that allow me to talk about a subject?”
Dialogue & discussion of shared questions & information is the focus of FR.
However, crude nasty retorts is never acceptable. I typically ignore or ghost such comments.
I have often said:
“I respect your freedom to hold your own or differing opinion. We both have the freedom of thought and the freedom of expression to hold our own point of view.
Also, it is absolutely not my intention or responsibility to “change” or form opinions for someone else.”
It is clear that elite opinion (which the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and Foreign Affairs dutifully express) is beginning to shift and people are being slowly accustomed to the idea of Ukraine losing the war.
