I am of the general consensus that gender, color/race, language, or political view makes no difference if you are an asshole. People should be judged based on their character/actions and ignorance is a more troublesome pandemic than COVID.
There's very little that can combat ignorance en masse.
I am convinced people's world views are in the trash and until the educational system is fixed, we will just see stupidity increase in number.
Oh yeah, my favorite part was my people's response to that. Either Austrians are being the idiotic ones, or it's all political, or they have something against us. Big oof! Why would people ever accept fault and learn from mistakes instead of constantly blaming everyone else?
Seems about right, honestly. No government these days seems to want to take accountability, regardless of constant claims to the contrary.
