I mean, I see where you’re coming from. In a direct democracy system like HN or Reddit, this is indeed a problem.

I was approaching the topic with a smidge of nuance and perhaps that was not clear, and I’m sorry.

Identity is definitely an issue in modern political culture, but I don’t know if PG can solve it anymore than you and I can. I think people just need to recognize and appreciate conjunctive nuances in their own opinions. Politics is identity AND culture AND religion etc etc. that’s my contention anyways.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply yourself!
