But why do people just accept the status quo?? Politics doesn’t kill my mind. I know how to not ‘cheer for my team’ and to think about topics in a balanced way. I expect people to act irrationally on the comment section of the news website I read- but why are people not rising above it on this website of all places?
Get use to it? It’s very hard to think it’s rare and unexpected for people to talk about a topic rationally. I don’t see why people find it so hard- especially when they’ve apparently read articles highlighting common problems and where they come from.
When we find it hard to think that things are as they are, and we find it hard to see why things are as they are, that’s often a good time to pay close attention to the behavior of the system. Often this has better results than expecting the behavior to be different and complaining when it isn’t… though admittedly, sometimes complaining has good results.
lol ok yes as I typed that I had to ask myself that exact same question- since it’s such a bold thing to say and exactly what someone with a problem might say.
I could explain why I am sure, but I’m not sure anyone is interested in that explanation. I’ve got a ask me a question comment on here so I guess if anyone is interested- they can ask :-)

Or do you have a third alternative in mind?
To be honest, I guess my comment was just a complaint with no expected result. It really had no point other than some kind of emotional release
Heh. Are you quite sure of that? :-)
