@Hoss@shitpost.cloud I will interact with anyone if they're friendly and respectful. I conceptualize it as though we're all in a house party socializing. It's not a major concern of mine if you've said something offensive before somewhere else. If we're at a party together and you're being friendly and respectful and able to carry on a constructive, enjoyable conversation then you're good by me. Now, if I see you walk to another room and start throwing slurs around and being hateful, I might not want to associate with you further. But, I'm not going into any conversation or engagement with prejudice. Furthermore, how are we supposed to change or grow as people if we're unwilling to communicate? Alienation and censorship only fuels radicalization because it quarantines individuals from exposure to different ideas or points of view or experiences, and only ferments them within an ever-more-dogmatic group-think which necessitates allegiance and unanimity.
