    I dunno, greed seems to be winning out. Greed has even managed to weaponize prejudice to distract people from all the taking …

    I appreciate the sentiment but prejudice is a fairly complex state of mind to propose as the atomic root of all society’s ills.

    Prejudice is always preceded by fear. What other reason is there to pre-judge that isn’t synonymous with fear?

    And similarly, fear of people is always preceded by lack of knowledge, a lack of confidence in one’s ability to predict behavior, aka trust.

    I only ask because solving prejudice is hard — ask 10 people how and you’ll have 10 different answers — whereas a problem like ignorance has only one solution.

    Prejudice is a socially acceptable way to express anger. It’s bad and irrational, yes.

    Is there a good way to express anger?

      The only acceptable prejudice is hating nazis. With anger, punch a nazi.

          No peaceful discourse with those who seek the end of peaceful discourse.

          Look everyone, a great example of binary thinking, and how limited it is. The lack of nuance forces your worldview into a narrow, childish view. Don’t be like this guy.

      It’s not really socially acceptable

      Anger is a secondary emotion and therefore symptom of another problem, you fix the problem.

      Anger isn’t something that has to be experienced
