We are all trained starting from childhood to use a Hero-Villain framework when observing conflicts and it leaves us very confused when the real world is closer to Villain-Villain situation.

Anytime I ever bring up say Kissinger and the crazy realpolitik actions he took, or now this lunatic Ben-Gvir in Israel I’ve recently learned about, other people are trained to see me as a communist or anti-semite immediately, because if I object to a US figure, I must be with the other side, same with Israel.

I don’t really know how to navigate this problem to be honest.

You are 1000% correct al-Qaradhawi is total evil.

Realistically, you can't, other than finding people who can accept that reality is shades of grey, not "my team good, other team bad."
