Neither. It neither changes safety nor moves targets. It is worse -- a distraction that leads away from solving the underlying problem in the same way as the Gun Control/Knife Control issue obscures and redirects passions.
Machines and locations of queues are not to blame. The real problem is (multi)cultural -- hate in people's hearts and evil plus incompatibility of cultures & religions. That is the root of the problem and moving a queue to a new location on the sidewalk won't solve it.
We are distracted and quibbling about irrelevant details. I refuse to accept the premise. Cutting to the root of the issue as best I can, civilizations must determine whether to abandon multiculturalism and insist on a homogeneous culture or continue down the current path.
- callalex 10y agoI'm not sure I quite understand what you're saying. Are you arguing that increased isolation between cultures will create less conflict and hate between them?
- tamana 10y ago"homogenous culture" is a modern racist dog whistle. It can only be achieved via the genocide+isolationism. The original Afghan-West battle wasn't about multiculturalist conflict, it was about imperialism.
- yason 10y agoYou're absolutely right but unfortunately that's only one side of the equation. We do need practical measures as well while waiting to reach that very stage where that hate has dissipated and cultures and religions have made peace with each other.
- petemc_ 10y agoSorry but that's bunkum. There are many examples in history of cultures embracing diversity and prospering.
