Sadly, most people would invent something else to replace it. Religion, Party politics, they all end up the same; ‘us’ versus ‘them’. It’s true in the Middle East, the USA and most areas of the planet. Sadly many people don’t understand the concept of consensus; it’s ‘I’m right’ and ‘you’re wrong’.
I have respected & even loved a lot of people who do not agree, they helped me know what I did not want in my life. But the minute they thought I should agree or harm someone else, I had to disappear them from my space.
