I've noticed a lot of folks seem to take a destructive attitude to things they oppose, and I think mine is usually different.Rather than wanting to destroy my 'enemy' or whatever, I want to help them see things my way, and get out of the trouble they're in.This manifests a lot in political stuff, especially for friends here in Canada, or down in the U.S. Sometimes other countries.Folks want their opposing party to fail and be ruined and crash and burn.

That's not great though, since they're part of your society and community. They're gonna crash and burn using your plane, on your land, in this stretched out hypothetical.It's better to help them change and become better, than to try and punish and destroy them for being bad.In that regard, you might consider joining a political party. You also might consider joining one that opposes you, and help them change!

So many folks are so quick to leave bad places, bad groups, but then there's nobody to change things. I see people who look at someone, see they're a member of some group, and figure "If they don't support x bad thing, they wouldn't be in that group with people who do!" and it's like, there's every chance they're trying to get those people out of that group as much as those people are trying to get rid of them, and they want to promote change.

A lot of the worst groups in the world today, and places too, were really nice and then some folks were bad, others left, and nobody remained to counter the bad stuff.You can do that! You have that power.They say, "Evil Triumphs when Good Folks Do Nothing." Well they don't actually say that, I paraphrased. But you know what I mean, right?You can do things, and we can do things together.

@relee I don't have /people/ who are my enemies. I have some /ideas/ that are my enemies, like "Some people deserve to suffer." or whatever, but I being horrible to people doesn't really help get rid of them.
