   Well, I do think there is a psychological error there in equating distance   
   with superiority. But yes, I do understand and agree that creating   
   distinctions breeds difference, which tends to breed conflict.   
      
   That is why modern woke ideologu will devour itself in ever smaller   
   warring factions and labels and identities eating themselves.   
      
   It is just sad, that we bystanders have to suffer for it.
