I think maybe the whole left vs right issue is way way way overblown. Outside the US its not even a thing. I mean if I didn't listen to the Joe Rogan podcast I wouldn't even know there was such a thing and the alt left and alt right. The vast vast majority of people are more worried about their own lives and how to pay the bills than what other peoples beliefs and opinions are.
As for the people who are in these groups, I fear you would have to be incredibly naive to think they can change. A high percentage of people are morons or idiots unfortunately.
I think this putting of people into opposite camps is used by very few as a control mechanism. It is an us vs them, black and white, thought control used by cults.
Now that a new thread has been created with a new more broad title, the scope of the thread has expanded. So
@oldtimer, have your today.
Thanks
@DN Playbook ,
But you guys are still making this kind of comments in the Epik breach thread which could be considered off topic,
Nevertheless the less I will go ahead and respond and the mods can move your posts and my response to the appropriate thread if they want to.
I am all for protecting the Humanity and the Environment.
Which in my opinion Environment also includes all the animals and all the other lifeforms and entities whether natural or artificial and goes far beyond just Earth specially now that we are exploring the Space and other Planets.
Humanity also includes the average people who are minding their own business and are working hard to make a living so that they can take care of their families.
The average person around the World doesn't really want to hate anyone as the matter of fact most of us as human beings instinctively want to help other human beings that might be in distress or experiencing some kind of a hardship.
The problem is most of the divisions and animosities that have started at the top in the past are now working their way into the lives of the masses below.
The average people around the World are now being groomed through their different political, religious, racial, and economical affiliations and loyalties to become radicalized and lose their humanity so that they can be used as soldiers in the Wars amongst the forces and elements of the status quo that want to stick to all the old and out dated ideologies, doctrines, and philosophies of the past.
The future can be very bright if we use all our newly acquired technologies and abilities to save our Environment and to make life better for all, but if we allow those at the top who want to sow divisions and animosities among us to get their way then our World will surely implode in the near future under all the pressures.
So the Humanity as a whole needs to wake up and take control of its Destiny before it's too late.
IMO
