if you trust the average LessWronger

I did not have the average LessWronger in mind; I'm sure they/we have no problem with that, as I am a below average LWer. I'm thinking of a generally soft-hearted, liberally-minded guy on Reddit - or, yes, 4chan - who could, whatever he ends up updating to, find it useful to look at the people and ideas that he finds unfashionable and distasteful, and see how they're human too, and not even the big horrible threat to his lifestyle and freedoms he feels them to be. I was a lot like that guy once, I thought the same things, and I'm confident that I'm a decent source on his perspective.
