    Unfortunately it’s not just politicians doing this. A lot of people hate each other for no other reason than they’re from a different country/religion/race.

      Yeah, but it’s those politicians who’ll send their compatriots to war.

      If instead they’d started walking the propaganda back rather than lighting fires under everyone and getting everyone mad, it might have averted this. (Past tense because it might already be too late by the look of it). And one way to convince blood-thirsty ivory tower dwellers that war is a bad idea is that room I mentioned.

      I mean, I saw a video the other day of children at a kindergarten or primary school where a little boy declared that he wanted to see the destruction of the other country. I forget now which country the boy was from, but it doesn’t matter. The politicians on each side have been fomenting hate for decades when they could have been doing the opposite, and that, unlike money, actually does trickle down.

        Sure the mouth pieces of any country help, but at the end of the day, they’re not the ones pulling the trigger or killing each other. The tourist attacks could have been prevented by the people who did them…all they had to do was not do them. They chose to because they’re hateful people. A politician might have fanned the flames but as I said people hate each other because of some of the dumbest reasons.
