alt Hacker NewsGtfo with this. The problem is not ‘polarization’ it’s that so many people are willingly and knowingly cruel when they get the chance.

Cruelty is your perceived behaviour of people on the other side sticking up for their values.
I can both argue that it’s cruel to not have housing for everyone,
while also arguing it’s cruel to tax away 40-50% of an entire country’s productivity (people’s actual work) to pay for houses for people who have never worked or paid taxes in their life.
Who’s right? Who’s cruel? Both sides and both. This is why I find this cruelty argument so bad.
