re medieval fantasy setting:
So you know how the inquisition, with the support of the roman church, perpetrated crimes against humanity and slaughtered innocent people ? Well, what if in this fantasy setting, they were absolutely right to do so ? wouldn't that be fun ?
... man, manicheism sucks ...

Again, Manicheism is a mind killer. Someone going "hey things are more complicated than that" gets you going "no you idoit. It's only good or bad."
Very funny to come into my mentions, smugly announce my marriage is going to be illegal, explain the law to me, and then drop a reply, block before I even see it, and subtweet about how much you hate lawyers

...there are certainly strands of Evangelical thought which tend very much towards the sort of Manicheism she is decrying here. But she's put the actual ownership of that moral simplicity not in the hands of her coreligionists, but rather in the wider YA market.

It’s not stated enough that Trumpism is simply metastasised Reaganism — a mix of jingoism, racism, know-nothingism, cornball machismo, restorationism, Hollywood manicheism and some other shit — fed into the bloodstream of 21st century media. The graft is extra, a loyalty test.

Yeah, he's straight up said that he view(ed) fantasy as plagued with infantilism and manicheism and mostly blamed Tolkien for it.

But I am a savvy thinker...I reject American Exceptionalism (good) in favor of American Exceptionalism (evil). Nothing more sophisticated than my revised Manicheism.

Its not so simple. For example, I don't like the Talibans and the far right don't like them too. Not for the same reasons. So... Nothing is all white and all black. Manicheism is not really the best philosophy.

Polarization in Poland, it is extreme, though one gets the impression that both sides have a very similar worldview. Dutch polarization (pars pro toto for the "West"), people living on different ideological planets. A liberalism which has turned into its own opposite. Late postmodern "manicheism".

Listen, I hate cars, I don't want them in my city.
But that was an amazing mix of false analogy, manicheism and self-righteousness.
What's the point of berating people on your side of the argument against cars? Imagine trying to convince someone on the other side with that kind of arguments.
