I know it's not fun to imagine but a vast majority of us fit the labels tossed about randomly at some point in our lives. Especially with the ease it is all being applied to one another. It starts to cancel out each other the more it is tossed about which makes communications about basic morality and perceived social virtue just about pointless... "well I may be an ism (to just you of course), but your an ist and that is far far worse because..."... and around and around that goes.

Fair point.

In western society (as it's a much bigger issue on our side of the world,) we let our leaders treat us like garbage and pit us all against each other, because we may have certain issues with each other (prejudiced issues or justifiable issues, it's all the same in this case,) because we all should be putting our differences aside and dictating to our leaders that we demand better leadership in our countries, and that they won't be the leader after the next election if things don't start picking up.

Instead a lot of us (myself included tbf) ignore the fact that our leaders are making us poorer and poorer, which is leading to other issues such as an increase in crime, poor Mental Health, prejudice etc etc.

We need to start genuinely holding our leaders accountable instead of a "us vs them" mentality like it's a team sport.

And I don't mean to go violent (obviously) I mean genuinely say to Starmer, Trump, or whoever is the leaders at that given time to give people more money so that they can actually enjoy their lives.

And in the UK's case we desperately need to sort out law & order as our sentences for serious offenses are atrocious, you get a bigger sentence in this country for Fraud than you do for being a rapist, it's seriously ****ed up.

I'm ranted out now.
