Spend more time with real people and you&#x27;ll see why it&#x27;s worthwhile to have relationships with persons who have differing political or social philosophies. Variety in personal judgment and alternative worldviews are really beneficial to be able to access; you can learn a lot that way, and your own perspectives and arguments will be improved.<p>You don&#x27;t have to agree, but people are still worth something and still have valuable information no matter how vehemently you disagree with them.<p>Also note that the vehemence of disagreement is usually heavily exaggerated, for propaganda purposes. Very few people, in the global sense, are sufficiently different from each other that they&#x27;re actually totally incapable of getting along. If we make a basic effort to keep an open mind, I think we could fix a lot of our contemporary issues.<p>A total breakdown in communication and dismissal of people on the other side is <i>not</i> a win. It&#x27;s a massive loss, one that means that the parent society is on thin ice. We need to maintain basic levels of respect for each other.
