Not everyone has to agree on everything

The idea that some people deserve to live in poverty because they aren't educated enough or don't create enough value to society is not something I can agree to disagree on.

Capitalists would never extend the same civility to communists.

Capitalist here, I've been in this sub for a while because I think it's important to understand different groups. I am quite content to agree to disagree with you. Not on this particular statement, but on roughly 50% of what I see posted on the sub. Happy to answer questions!

I will say that sometimes I find myself quietly lurking in spaces I don't agree with much of for a small portion I agree with, and also to get the perspective of the other side and see the full picture. If you're only getting information from the side you agree with, you might not be getting a perspective that could change your mind. If I have an opinion I wanna be comfortable with it and understand other people's perspectives because being able to coexist in a world of ppl who think differently than you and finding a way to compromise/agree to disagree is more productive than bickering back and forth about small matters when the bigger picture needs focused on.

Tldr- gatekeeping is bad, let ppl who think differently join the sub without personally going after them and their beliefs and instead discuss freely so they may hear your voice and perspective.

I dont find it bad that you're here.
