Why do most protests seem to be for socially liberal causes even though the vast majority of the time it doesn't help make other people agree with it? Why isn't there more protests for socially conservative causes?
Please define “socially liberal causes”.Are you talking about welfare? Oh, we do that so most red states can feed their kids and can handle their opioid crisis.Federal Anti-Poverty Programs Primarily Help the GOP's BaseMaybe you are talking about clean air and clean water and safer handling of commercial toxin waste? Last time I check, conservatives breath/drink and eat the same stuff liberals do.How Republicans came to embrace anti-environmentalismHow about your right to vote (are you a woman or a black person? if you were a woman (or black) 60 years ago, you wouldn’t be able to). - DAMNIT LIBS!!(Use Google to learn about the Anti-suffragism Movement). It was a group of conservative men and women who fought voting rights for woman: Black Women & The Suffrage Movement: 1848-1923How about that silly thing like accessible healthcare to everyone? we are not there yet, but soon, America will come to her senses and people will demand access to healthcare regardless of income. Just like I have access to police (without them sending me a bill to come check around the neighborhood) not , just like I’d expect the roads / traffic lights / bridges etc to be accessible because I am paying my taxes.This GOP A-hole knows better: The poor 'just don't want health care': Republican congressman faces backlash over commentsHow about STOP IMPRISONING non violent criminals (who didn’t hurt anyone)? I know I know, that private prison industry is a nice cash cow for lots of conservatives politicians (Hi Jeff! ) and I, personally, understand why the republicans want to keep it the way it is (just make more money - umm sorry, lock up more bad guys for our safety). My thoughtis - they are shrinking the democratic base by sending them to prison and revoking their right to vote (you may want to Google a little bit about that), and while they’re at it, they also limiting employment opportunities (dramatically).https://www.washingtonpost.com/n...I am starting to believe that republican (or republican conservative) is a synonym to “misinformed and innocent” or “I need you to tell me what to think”. I just can’t get past the fact that 40,000,000 people believed that terrible person in the Whitehouse, despite the fact EVERYONE told you he can’t stop lying, cheating and he is generally a bad person.
What is something that needs to be said about Donald Trump?
LAZY DEMOCRATS CREATED TRUMP!Donald Trump is the result of laziness from democrats. Yes a lot of his supporters voted for him based on his racists views. But you can’t just flip Obama supporters that easy to vote for Trump. And yet, it happened.I say Democrats were lazy because they seem to always lose the good fight for the common man. They always lose to republicans with compromises, and sometimes just plain lose their shirts to Republicans.The Democratic platform has always been for the little guy, and against the rich. Someway somehow that didn’t happen under our great hope in Obama. I know about the obstructions from the right and the recession. But most people don’t go that far, or care.So for as long as I can remember.No Educational reliefNo minimum wage hikeNo free medicalNo immigration reformSo basically nothing of real substance for the poor or working man. Just the same Basic safety net that Provides little to no help for the ones that need it. Democrats have just sustained us with the same old song and dance.They cherish our votes for election time, get elected and do nothing, or compromise with republicans to the point where the poor loses more than before.So Trump happens. and it was music to some people’s ears. No matter how ridiculous the assertions were, it didn’t matter. Because he sounded angry like a lot of his supporters, and the big talk about Washington being corrupt and filled with corruption echoed a lot of people’s sentiments.Those used to be Democratic talking points. But since Democrats never seemed to follow through, we have lost the common man to Trump.And I also think that the right wing media machine is a very effective tool, forget the lies, and sometimes fact less reporting. It works. we think we can win elections with facts and morals. Those days are over.I’m not so sure that Trump won’t get re-elected in 2020. We all know how he sways with the wind. If he starts talking Democratic policies about free education for community college or trade school, to help people get off welfare and help themselves I think he is going to win.Besides, who do we really have to run against him?
How can we end caste discrimination in India?
Our society is infested with this disease of casteism since many centuries, infact millennias. And still majority of Indians do not want this problem gone. My answer is going to be a short one as it requires little effort to remove this but every single individual should have the intent and sanity to put this little effort which, unfortunately, can't be seen in the society.First of all if you hold any such notion that your caste is your identity or it has any worthy meaning in reality, you need to shade away that view. This is first and foremost thing. Castes are totally useless and nonsense gradation of human beings. It not only divides people but also make them feel superior or inferior. So to remove caste basef discrimination, you need to leave the very idea of caste from your life. Caste based discrimination isn't limited to ill treatment of lower caste of people. Absolutely not. It is also caste based discrimination when two people in love can not be together just because their castes are different or when someone leans more towards a person of their own caste than those of other castes, or when your caste become the basis of stereotypes. And even if you want to look at it from the Sanatan or Hindu perspective, Varna and caste has no use in today's society (not that it ever had any use whatsoever). Different castes were assigned different jobs which people were forced to abide. Is imposition of job acceptable in today's world? Certainly not. Then what is the need of the caste system.So if you want to end caste discrimination or even caste based reservation, boycott castes totally. No caste based last names, no caste based marriages, never ask anyone's caste, never tell your kids their castes, no exceptions for the person belonging to your own caste. Just completely denounce caste itself. And spread this idea as much as you can. No government, no system can solve this but we people. It's a Herculean task and it will need support from everyone to make it work but you must do your own bit honestly.Thanks for the A2A and please point out faults if you find any.*And to add one important thing, always try to stop and protest if you witness caste based discrimination. It's time we speak up.
