In parts of the world an introduction and the common civilities still matter a good deal!

They are an acknowledgement of a fellow human being and their are so many people who have no clue about this, no understanding, they just want to pander to their particular foibles without being in any way affable to others. They really are not the type of people who will do well in life, I think, and perhaps it is a lack of simple manners and empathy for others that holds them back in life.

What do you, dear reader, think?

As someone who was basically raised this way, full agreement. How do we take the reins back?

Rallies and protests won't do, sweetheart.

I've listened, I've heard, I've been the shoulder, I've burdened, it's time we take our burden and weaponize it against what holds back as a society.

@Amyrakunejo That’s interesting
@Ximenajacoba Yeahhh...
I didn't really answer the question, my bad...

Hey, Autistic-self, come here...
(backhands Autistic-self for disruption) "Don't do it again."
So, to answer, yes, they are important, regardless of how one feels in the present moment (I agree with @awildsheepschase). In fact, I love to mix in a bit of humor when I can (I love good 'Dad Jokes'-yeah).
@Amyrakunejo Anything upon mass, even a protest, I have found out, never really speaks what a heart needs. It then becomes just as much as mass government, mass religion, mass industry. Revolution is an ugly word in this world, sadly, but I expect some just know inside somewhere it becomes another kind of masses rule.
@awildsheepschase That's why after an upheaval of such a size, only one true path exists; Anarchy.
Having been born and raised Anarchist, I can tell you, both Mass-Governance and Hollywood have lied to you about what Anarchy is.
@Amyrakunejo This is not about Mass-Governance or Hollywood, it's simple mathematics honestly, when left with no leader another leader arrives. Humanity with all its needs can never have anarchy, because like time before says another will emerge.

I'm not saying this world doesn't need a fundamental change.
@awildsheepschase Question.
Does a 'leader' have to be a person.
Where I grew up: "No."
@Amyrakunejo In theory, no... but it will become one. I thank I'm Canadian, but I am watching Americans basically put a rudderless lass as leader because they desperately need one.

Where are you?
@awildsheepschase
A puppet is more factual, but, toh-may-toh, toh-mah-toh.

In the worst possible place; KanSUCKS. I'm not here 'cuz I wanna be...
@Amyrakunejo I'm illustrating in a vacuum something needs to fill a void.

I prefer your want.
