I bet you 1 million dollars that "the worst take" is that "You (or your team) are wrong and should be doing something differently." You want to bet? I'll bet you.
Hym "What is the worst take? Let's find out......... Ope! That counts! That counts as the thing I said! You owe me 1 million dollars!
And it's funny because I could say the exact same thing about religion! Ha! Hilarious! You want to know the problem? The problem is that the narrative and counter-narrative creates this false dichotomy between 'Blind appeasement' and 'Demonization' and those are not the only options! That's what makes it a false dichotomy! You could be doing something other than what you're doing."
