Modesty: a strategy for responding to fanaticism
David Brooks writes "that the world is too complicated to fit into one political belief system" and this makes me feel better, as I know how fruitless arguments can be. Even though the far right movement is toxic, compassion and empathy is the only way I can connect to the lost souls of an ideology that values money and power above life - and where people are left to struggle for whatever dignity they can scratch together.
Are arguments ever won without serious reflection on both sides?
