CMV: We desperately need nuance back in politics

"Trump is hitler"

"ACAB"

"America is a failed state"

There are so many opinions floating around that seem so fringe and I think it could get real bad if nuance doesn't make a comeback. Especially considering the ramifications of trying to apply nuance. I think comparisons are important (like fascism: a warning by madeline albright comparing trump to dictators such as hitler), but I think it's important to maintain a spectrum of good and evil, rather than a binary system where everyone evil is hitler (we don't seem to have as much trouble finding nuance in the good). This isn't a healthy way to promote discourse, and unfortunately those that try to say, reason why trump may not exactly be hitler, are viewed as biased trump supporters/sympathizers rather than rational thinkers. Now I do think most people you vaguely ask would agree that nuance is important, but I'm not seeing the practical implementations and I think viewing this world in such an increasingly black and white fashion in regards to morals is more deleterious than we realize. I think part of the problem is that emotion is king in the world of profit media, and rationalism falls by the wayside.

Nuance is pointless without a structure to sustain it and legitimise it.

If you are American: you wouldn't be satisfied if your politicians and political discussions all over the internet were suddenly """nuanced""". Because American elections still collapse everyone into two camps of note: blue vs. reds. Ask for nuance and you get close to nothing. Pursue the structure that naturally sustains it, i.e. *proportional representation*.

Either way: a variety of social media feeds *are tailored to what said media think you want to see*. So your observations might just have a really bad case of 1) confirmation bias, and 2) selection bias.

Also, be careful to note that "nuance" =/= objectivity, neutral, or any such notion. Sometimes, people are just flat-out wrong; often hypocritical in the process, by virtue of failure to recognise how their beliefs lead to conflicting conclusions.

Also, would you care for the reasoning behind ACAB? A slogan can only say so much but there is rationale behind it.
