- charliesharding 8y agoIronically, conversations geared towards reaching real solutions are not as prone to receiving widespread attention since they involve multivariate discussion and critical thought. Meanwhile, flimsy grandstanding is a popular way of making people feel moral while pushing any real conversations aside and therefore making the problem worse.
