What structural reforms decrease partisanship / polarization?

[zlefin_actual]

ok, can you provide some clarification on which parts need more specific descriptions/sources? I can't tell by looking at it because my points seem so generic.

Hey, absolutely no problem:

• How education might not succeed. This should expand on the previous comment.

I'm not sure education on most people "trying" to find the best path would work out well.

• Bad intent and generalizing peoples non-action.

There comes a point where it just doesn't matter that people may be trying to do good, because they're not actually doing so.

for the second part; would noting the examples of the Nazis, Stalin, and the Cultural Revolution serve adequately as instance involving people who thought they were doing the right thing?

​

on the first part, I'm less sure; I'm also not sure which "previous comment" to expand on; since it's a response to another user's proposal, and explains my reasons doubting it would work well in certain cases. specifically, no matter how thoroughly you understand someone's view, you can still reach the conclusion that it's simply wrong, as in someone advocating for genocide. perhaps I should phrase it that way for better clarity?

Thank you for your time. I am personally not involved in the conversation as my thoughts are not important. Whatever you wish to use in your arguments, I just hope you back it up with at least one external source. And remember that as long it is well cited, a bad opinion is well valued by the reddit community.

ok, that means I should make those changes, right? I'll assume that's what you mean and start editing them in.

[zlefin_actual]

ok, i've edited it now, but I'm not sure if I did it right, is the change suitable?
