In a Trumpistic era, where people are allowing scrotal hemispheres toovershadow cerebral hemispheres, it is very important that we do not allow ourselves to be dragged into the mud of ideological stupidity. The presence of polarized hate groups is worldwide and not new. The characters who serve hate, harbour hate, and express hate are of low civil content. They are desperate for attention, visibility, and notoriety. They can arise from segments of society that are deprived of social, educational and family supports, but they also arise from those with undue privilege, and slanted bias against the poor, weak, or different.
Various demonstrations and counter-demonstrations are planned or occurring, not only in the USA, but through spillover into other countries including Canada. We must not succumb to the bicker, the banter, the battling, the bigotry. We must stand for all people, stand for diversity, stand for reprimand of ignorant and vile behaviours or words. We owe it to the privilege of being human in this modern time when we have no better purpose than to solve the world’s problems of starvation, lack of access to education and peace, and discriminative belittling of others.
Stand together for good, for progress, for peace and sensibility. Do not waver. We need strength and conviction.
