Urbanity is not civility, although neither is it piety.

I do not necessarily adhere to one virtue, however death threats, threats of violence, accusations of cowardice, accusations of treachery for holding certain opinions.... These things are uncivil.

If you think, kind, compassionate behaviours can be fostered without civility then I think you are sadly mistaken.

I think my point is born out by your use of the word "barbarian" which is the antonym of "civilised".

Kind, compassionate behaviors cannot be fostered among certain ideologies, period. Their only value and content is sadism. This has nothing to do with performative civility.

This is why you change the ideology with kindness and compassion, and civility.

A little while ago you accused me of being "colder" but perhaps the change in perspective is yours?

Does logic and evidence-based argument come into it? Ie. can we look at things from an engineering perspective, rather than from a philosophical perspective?
