Thank you for writing this, Pierz. It's great how many strands you weave in to make a strong basket for your thesis!

It's great to signs that the younger generations are more accepting or even encouraging of diversity. Another uplifting story in my feed talks about Japanese and Koreans emerging from old prejudices.

A friend of mine is active in a pro-democracy organization. They fastidiously steer clear of any polarized issues. It's all simply about celebrating democracy. My friend tried to post about an event of theirs on FB. FB rejected it because the word "democracy" was "political." What irony that democracy has become a subversive concept.
