Yeah it’s honestly just as simple as: people are only tolerant of things around them. That’s it.

People in rural areas are racist because those places have no races. Old people don’t like trans people because they weren’t raised during a time when that stuff was talked about.

It’s why cities are liberal. Because you are surrounded by more people, so you’re exposed to more people, so you learn they’re people.

When you’re the biggest shop in your town it’s because you do good work.

When you’re the biggest shop in the world it’s because you’re scamming your clients.

Working in bad conditions so you can talk down to people that you perceive as lesser humans than you is the #1 interest for a lot of the country.

That’s the system we have right now and it doesn’t work. Soooo…

This is like you breaking up with a toxic girlfriend and she tells you “oh yeah well other people are still gonna date me idiot!”

You’d be an idiot not to. That was the very first thing I thought of.

I’m not limiting this to work.

And of course you can have a relationship with someone remotely.

But overall, for the average person, in-person relationships are going to be stronger. Friends, family, romantic relationships, hobbies, work, you name it.

It’s honestly like someone comes up to you and tells you that you have to win class president for the local kindergarten.

You’d love to talk about stuff like human rights or healthcare but you know that if you want to win the election you need to promise them longer naps and candy every Monday.
