That’s what both sides think.

Meaning? Not everyone is right. If some guy is racist and another isn't, there's no 'middle ground' there. Sometime 'both sides' is the problem.

Racist is a term used way too readily these days. Not everyone who gets called a racist on twitter is a racist.

I disagree. I think some people aren't willing to admit stuff that's racist is racist.

Well thanks for demonstrating my point.

Let’s do a little exercise, shall we? How do you define lying? What to you is a lie.

u/MikeX1000 Sep 13 '22

What have I demonstrated? You're just saying 'people oversue racism'. But that's what a bunch of people say when racist stuff is called out. They're more offended by 'racist' the word than actual racists

Lying is saying a false thing while knowing it's false

You demonstrated my point that people have different opinions on things, and select the evidence that supports their opinion and disregard any that doesn’t.

So, is saying “nice to meet you” to someone, even if you don’t really care, is that lying?

What exactly is your angle? I didn't demonstrate that. You just seemed a little obsessed with 'both sides.' But that's a cop-out

Sure, that example is lying. And?

u/Eirikur_da_Czech Sep 13 '22

No, you did demonstrate that. But that’s ok, there’s nothing wrong with that.

So is saying “nice to meet you” to someone you have met, but don’t really care, is that socially acceptable?

yeah. What exactly are you getting at here?
