I think that most humans behave in morally horrifying ways - but I don’t shun them. Instead, I try to persuade them.

I try to persuade them.

Or I just don’t go out of my way to talk to them, which is pretty easy. The world is massive.

I don’t boycott events where people I deeply disagree with are giving talks.

I don’t tell my friends that they can’t be friends with people who I deeply disagree with.

I don’t “protect” my friends from information or people that they deeply disagree with, because it is their choice what they watch or who they hang out. Not mine.

Shunning people you deeply disagree with is a bad social norm.

It leads to echo chambers, cultishness, a culture of fear, polarization, and a loss of freedom.

It is better to try to persuade people, or to tolerate them and not go out of your way to talk to them.
