Everyone is uninformed on a multitude of topics and some people are going to be uneducated on topics you find important or are passionate about. I feel either educating someone or simply walking away when you don’t have the patience is a lot less harmful than screaming accusations.Įvery single one of us, including myself, has holes in our education and have held certain beliefs that we now feel are wrong. Even if they don’t change their minds immediately they back off and have a think about it, which is a success in my book. And a lot of the time people do stop and reconsider. And I’ve found it, in my experience, a lot more helpful to listen to people and then offer to present facts or my perspective in a civil manner before I judge them to be hateful or closed-minded. But I’m finding that most of the time when an average person has ignorant opinions or misapprehensions about people it comes from a lack of knowledge and not so much hatred. Honestly yeah there are definitely people out there who have unconditional disdain for certain groups of people who really do deserve to be ostracized and even decked in the face I agree. Like when it’s clear someone hasn’t been educated on the nuance of a historical event or they have an ignorant opinion about something because they probably haven’t given it much thought, and people are quick to point fingers and exclaim “you have this opinion because you’re racist and hate xxxx group!” or “you’re transphobic because you said this off-color thing!” etc. Really not a fan when people jump to the worst conclusion immediately.
