Yeah it’s too bad the phrase “both sides” has become another trigger term for people. You legitimately can’t say anything anymore. Tribalism is a real problem online. You used to be able to have opinions that differered from other people. On principle I understand wanting to advocate for human rights. But bad actors have turned what should be a forum for discussion into what amounts to a binary rap battle. It’s online gang warfare that’s been cultivated to stop communication and growth. It’s gross. Life is complicated and we can’t always be right but we can always try our best.

That makes sense. It’s funny how people have forgotten the women’s protests of a few years ago and are quick to jump to Iran’s defense. They may not be the aggressors but as a country they aren’t innocent. They have their problems. Russia trying to get their hegemony makes sense.
