Interesting for me to reflect on this because I'm in that age group and most of my environment is too and they are absolutely my target of this comment. While I have skin in the game holding this position I wonder if those downvoting do too. How many friends did you lose to social media dividing you harder than I ever could, and who do you direct that anger to. :)

never mind fake internet points or moron writers that optimizes content for likes or whatever their audience wants to hear. Schopenhauer and Taleb have already written plenty on the subject.



If you’re abandoning your friends because of political differences, you’re part of the problem. Picking fights with people because you don’t agree with them doesn’t change any minds and does make the world a little worse. Also, your beliefs may not be rooted in fact as much as you’d like or you might be more confident in your truth to win in its own.
