How is expanding the perspective an unthinking position?
How is posing the question why do we have to accept the least bad option, as opposed to a good option, arrogant?
I suspect so called Bo-spiders get rebuked here because the position threatens posters’ political identities.
See finesse + bosiding is consistently the position of special little boys and girls who have a preternatural ability to see through the political mishegoss, which mere mortals apparently do not. Nobody enjoys the pathological “well actually” kid, bc the pathological “well actually” kid
1) stands for nothing (yet positions this as some twisted “above the fray” perspective)
2) is inherently assuming the people holding a position haven’t already thought through the typically mundane and elementary “well actually”s
3) frequently do so just to antagonize, with zero underlying interest in advancing conversation
4) appear more interest in gumming up the problem solving process, and
5) can’t stress this enough, they equate behaviors and outcomes, in quality and quantity, in an absolutely absurd manner
We’re not talking contrarianism, here. We’re talking some combination of cynicism and/or sport and/or self importance, bordering on narcissism.
