Heh. You just made me remember there’s a social stigma that political discourse is reserved for “the intellectuals”—it’s bullshit—so by expressing different ideas or opinions, someone can feel as though it’s first and foremost an attack on their intelligence.
We live in a society where people just constantly disrespect each other so we’re so on guard that even the most respectful intentions don’t have a chance of getting through. These days it’s much harder to just talk and bounce ideas back and forth until a balance is found. We all have way more common ground than we do differences, but we don’t act that way
its like a hoarders mentality, out of sight out of mind, once they made that decision, they dump thier stuff they accumulate somewhere and dont want to think about the consequences, and you know what happens if you confront a hoarder.
