    What do you mean both sides are the same? They are not. One is 6 and the other is 9.

    Edit: I don’t mean it in a cynical way. Just that positioning matters in establishing truth. It is not just a matter of perspective (defined as subjective perception) but rather a matter of position (defined as inter-subjective agreement).

      I agree there. This comic implies that both observers are correct because they are looking at the same thing from different angles; but that’s not how most political issues are. It doesn’t matter what your perspective on human rights is. If your perspective says human rights are not good: you’re wrong. It’s more akin to two people looking at the exact same thing, but one of them has glasses on that make them see ghosts and goblins that aren’t really there.
