Some rambling as I try to figure out what I intend to convey. During normal times, humans behave in irrational ways. During testing times (with a pandemic, unemployment, violence, corruption), humans seem to behave irrationally and exhibit frustrations akin to taking it out on someone/some group even though the cause and the resolution (or the ability to bring a resolution) lie elsewhere. Somewhere in this mix, from well intentioned and otherwise logical or educated people, we see utterly incomprehensible support for certain non-progressive ideals, bigotry and outright violence. I don’t know what could really help. But there seem to be some fundamental problems (in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) that have become exacerbated and are snowballing and manifesting in many other areas. To those on the fence or amenable to change their views, solving some of these problems could help bring them to the table and be willing to listen (and then change).
