to "both sides" something there first have to be 2 different sides, not two right wings of the fucking bird in nazi insignias.

When presented with the choice between the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly vs the arsonist who wants to burn your house down quickly, choose the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly, so you have more opportunities to escape or mitigate the damage.

Edit:
Why the downvotes? How is this analogy inconsistent with what was just described?

what if we shoot the arsonists 🤔

I mean... It might make the other arsonist think twice.

But it might also just make the arsonists shoot all the firefighters and then set the whole town on fire. Still might be worth a try, if someone was willing

I think my analogy is passing the bounds of its usefulness 😅
