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.
No, Nr 1 evil is greed in all it's forms.
Prejudice is a socially acceptable way to express anger. It's bad and irrational, yes.
Is there a good way to express anger?
Go to the gym.
The only acceptable prejudice is hating nazis. With anger, punch a nazi.
Getting angry is like taking poison and expecting your enemy to get sick.
Okay wow. So much for the tolerant left. 🙄🙄
Everyone is left of the nazis and from them have everything to lose.
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.
Is there good way to express anger?
FUCK YOU.
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
Well it depends on the society now doesn't it?
