cutting someone down doesn’t help anyone stand up. name calling, speculating on the unknowable interiority of another, and chicken little “the sky is falling” type of hyperbole belongs in tabloids. When discourse resembles the dialog of “real housewives of miami” it’s apt to call it kardashian drama. no matter how wrong anyone else is, makes no difference in whether or not you are right. so just persuade people why your actions are right for others. “i like my money being money, so i do X for Y, and Z. I have no use for B and C, and I think they hurt my interest with D and E risk.” that’s how people make affirmative cases for their actions and negative cases against the opposite. speak to the principles not the people not sure if that helps
