    Is that the way you think? You only argue with people to prove who you are to observers, or if it’s your job?

      I argue with people for a lot of reasons. I an saying no one has an inherent obligation to argue with anyone.

        It’s not an inherent obligation, but if you genuinely oppose those ideas, you’d feel compelled to argue against them if someone expressed them, or else remove yourself from the situation ASAP

          You’re saying you would, I explained why others might not feel the same way, and still genuinely oppose them

            You can’t genuinely oppose something and tolerate it at the same time, that’s a contradiction

                Then I suppose we disagree on what “oppose” or “tolerate” mean
