Is calling people "far left idiots" a way to promote dialogue?

51. Welcome to DU!

I've found that any honest discussion on the existence of white privilege here in our country (and further, the effect our system of white supremacy has on the rest of the planet), be it online or face to face, will quickly degenerate into raised hackles, indignant harrumphs, and eventual shit-flinging.

And that's more often than not true with the flag waving trucks (who probably already have so many felonies on their records, they couldn't afford to vote anyway), the holier-than-thou folk who delight in preaching love thy neighbor (but not THAT neighbor), the seriously earnest politicos (who love nothing better than a good protest march, just not if they get too wild or LOUD), and the many passive-aggressive online junkies sitting on their asses hoping to change the World (so long as they wouldn't ever have to sacrifice a bit of their time or treasures).

It truly is a sad and disturbing reflection of this nation.
