Quote:I do believe that liberals do the same thing. As of matter of fact, I would argue that liberals tend to "separate" or "categorize" certain groups of people more so than conservatives.


Was he indoctrinated by "conservative groups that preach hate and fear" or was he indoctrinated by "extremest groups that preach hate and fear"? There is a difference.

I knew when I wrote the first sentence of my remark that you bolded, I was setting myself up for your critique. I should have removed it!


But I guess it goes to my main point, it's very problematic to put any one group into a category where you then pigeon hole individuals into a bias based on a collective.


Your point is well taken. I don't think categorizing and using a bias is a liberal or conservative thing. It's something that we as humans are naturally inclined to do.


The goal is to try and remove oneself from that bias. Though as I try to point out, and sometimes fail at myself, it is very hard to do, but also very necessary in order to find where we all are similar. It also helps remove a lot of hate and angst against this we may disagree with.
