Middle of the ground people are mostly cowards too scared of conflict, or devoid of insight.

Maybe there's a middle ground between our two views.

Why are you so scared of conflict?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 16 points 9 months ago

I'm not scared of conflict, I'm averse to needless conflict. I may get involved in a conflict for the purpose of breaking it up, or I may initiate a conflict for a good cause such as combating hatred and averting future conflicts - if I feel it'd be productive.

Why waste your time fighting when there's a solution everyone is happy with?

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

More likely a solution nobody is happy with but everyone can live with. Your point stands though.
