In a public setting? Intelligent & good

In a private setting, neutral.

Some people just don't like talking politics or religion, I completely understand why.

I don't follow politics because when I'm not busy studying or doing schoolwork I would rather workout, socialize, have fun, etc.

My downtime is already limited and would rather avoid negativity. But I'm still told I'm part of the problem because I don't follow politics or follow what's going on around the world.

For the record, I do follow what's going on around the world. Mostly in science & tech since that's my field. But since summer started, I have been exposed to more politics, and I still find it hard to make an informed decision because of all these biased news station.

I am curious to know if what I'm doing "contributes to the problems of the world". Since most of my friends who are "passionate" about social issues always seems to critics me lol.

Completely understandable. I have some friends at work who got into a bit of an argument because one had a radio program on every day that they didn't agree with politically.

That is such a poor argument. Anyone that has known me knows I'm always the minority and I have grown up in less privileged places.

I don't worry about politics and politicians because there will always be social policies that will affect people one way or another. There is no pleasing all. I know what needs to be done in my life and what I can do. What other people have on me will not change that. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I would also like to point out it seems most people are behind their beliefs because of personal experiences.

You can't force experiences and everyone has a different life experiencing, leading to a different set of belief system.

At least with dialogue people can begin to empathize with each other.

That'll never happen as long as our officials are elected to advance the agendas of their corporate masters, demonizing the other side is a very productive and successful tactic.

true, but what good is that dialogue when it's not our peers who are running for government offices and even then, whose to say our peers wouldn't fall into the same routine as the non-peers and start working for their biggest contributors? People believe Trump was somebody like us, yet when he got into office he's just as beholden to his contributors orders as anyone else already in positions of power.
