    You understood nothing from my comment and are completely wrong in every main conclusion you drew from it.

    And this difference in thought, expression and interpretation is proof enough that while people can come together to form a community and pursue a goal or a project side by side, conflict still arises. Magnify this at the size of states and you have what exists today.

    In the US, it was a minority that placed Trump in office. And a minority that voted against him. The majority did not care or was unable to care. Same for the protests a few days ago. As long as these initial protesters persist and continue to organize, more will gather around them. But if they stop now, the protest will either die or deviate in an unfocused direction.

    The direction is fought for by the few leading the many. Every protest in history that succeeded or failed had or lacked a guiding voice. And without that guiding voice, the majority will scatter. This is a social fact that doesn’t need any paper to prove it and governments love making use of it since quite a while back ago.

    And speaking of papers, your dependence on them is a bit foolish. It was only a few months ago when it was shown here on lemmy that many papers get published for the sake of publishing. A corrupted monopoly seeking grants, funding and subsidies without a care for accuracy or merit and where the “peer” reviewers are privatized and have no qualifications whatsoever.

    I trust your papers as much as I trust the toilet paper in a public restroom. (Which is not at all, if you didn’t catch my drift.) …

    The more time i spend here replying to your comment, the more i see you as a walking contradiction. You talk about people coming together to work side by side, yet post that kind of venom above.

    So I’ll stop here before I somehow manage to worsen my opinion.

      So you’re also a flat-earther, anti-vaccine, and anti-science? If you trust scientific data as little as toilet paper in a public restroom, and peer reviewed data, then you’re clearly not interested in the pursuit for truth at all. So what are you arguing if not for your fairy tales? The thing about truth is it’s uniting, they’re agreed upon facts of reality determined by evidence and data, like forensics in a murder investigation. It allows us to not only understand what is happening in the world around us, but also set aside our differences and celebrate them. The mindset that will, as you say, never get along with others is those with the mindset that is against truth - aka you.

      So I’ll stop here before I somehow manage to worsen my opinion.

      It doesn’t seem to take much.
