Have been considering this… mulling it over… the notion of “civility” As someone who advocates for social justice, what people regularly get wrong is that having and expressing an opinion is not uncivilised… the greatest mark of a human is their ability to respectfully disagree and repair a relationship when it is ruptured… when someone has resource which is far more superior to another- asking for sheer civility is coerced compliance as it glosses over lack of equity.. that person has unilateral power to remove that person from society as “shunned” i believe simply reducing “civility” to enforced compliance makes for enforced humbling… which then breeds contempt.. True Civility is accepting all people but acknowledging their differences- for good and for bad and helping people grow by modelling the ability to seek out another’s perspective, understanding their behaviour in the context of their lived experience..
