Re: "Everyone is on a crusade"
I certainly remember very different times, not without struggles, mind you, but with a shared will for will

@Yretek so do I.
Memories and nostalgia for a different time are never a reliable gauge.
If you say a year I could list you 100 injustices from it with enough time, to keep things topical if its within the last 75 years both Henry Kissinger and Israel are very likely to come up.
Universally minorities, gays, asylum seekers, disabled people and more have always and still do face injustices even in the most "civilised" societies.
My times weren't, probably, your times. 1975, November the 20th, General Francisco Franco Bahamonde died, leaving a young inexperienced king at the helm, one expected to pass briefly into oblivion. Spain was, of course, doomed to yet another period of strife, perhaps into a civil war. We lost one million people in the last one, in 3 years of conflict limited to a single, medium sized nation.
And yet, what it transpired is that people wanted Peace and Freedom, in that precise order. Our teachers didn't know what democracy was or could be. In any case, we Spaniards were a lost cause for democracy, too unruly.

@corscada many of them are discussing things that where not even said and are not true, such as me wanting genocide, or the guy in the link being terrible.
that thread is to discuss antenna blocking someone for politics not specific politics or whatever they *feel* I think.
Everyone is on a crusade — Everyone is on a crusade nowadays and I need to vent. I'll leave examples out in order to stay an anonymous Internet dog. Whatever you do to keep away from getting involved and from taking sides, sooner or later someone will extend his agenda into your life. Most of the time it is not much of an interference. Nevertheless it slowly ads up to the straw that breaks the camel's back. Even if I agree with your particular agenda, my life is not centered on your...
