Why are y'all in the comments trying to act like one or another universalist position has to fit like a sock to all situations? There are debates where one side is blatantly wrong and the other is blatantly correct, debates where one side is wrong and the other has some points right, debates where both sides have some points right, debates where both sides would do well to return to school and debates where no side can be objetively correct because they're discussing something intrinsically subjective. The "enlightened centrist" meme is useful to mock the stupid position that "the truth is always in the middle", but if you think you're always going to find someone in any debate who has the right answer, you're going to find yourself siding with stupid shit all the time.

Yes! Can we pin this somewhere for new Lemmy users to read? I'm so over the right/wrong ONLY attitudes

It would be better if we taught people to be critical thinkers

Differing opinions is not the same thing as misinformation.
