"What's hard for you to understand?"

Well ... simplistic thinking. Either or, black or white. It's kind of fascinating it still even exists in this era. (unless you meant it as a parody of yourself), As the web is full of historical overviews, and personal explanations from people actively involved now and in the past. Thousands of layers of complexity and nuance.

I suppose those that feel they are in power think they are entitled to debase themselves and not to think about others. Shutting off dialogue is a sure way to maximise the harm done.
