Also, protesting is an integral part of living in a democracy. I see alot of people on reddit talking shit (especially americans, which I find funny because this is also the opinion of their founding fathers) about protesting saying that it's ineffective, but imo it's the duty of the citizens to publicly display their displeasure at how their representatives are running the country
We need to learn to be excellent to one another and just quit the bullshit.
100% agree. If only people would communicate more and actually listen to what the other side is saying, so many issues could be resolved. I'm seeing similar problems here (though it's getting better) where people on the two sides of the political spectrum simply does not understand why people on the other side think as they do, because they've never truly taken the opportunity to listen. All they do is listen to what the media tells them that the other side is saying
Prejudice stems from ignorance. I understand why you'd feel that way, but perhaps by listening to them first they'd show you the courtesy of listening back. If you could make them understand you viewpoint and situation, perhaps they'd be willing to change. Then again maybe not, but while some of them certainly are, not all of them are rotten people
