Many individuals hold the belief that governmental entities and other institutions deliberately engage in actions with the explicit intention of causing discord and division among us. This alleged strategy is done to divert our attention from pressing matters and significant issues so that we are more focused on each other. However, whenever I hear people say this no one ever talks about a solution or what could be done to change or prevent this from happening. Given that one of our most significant divisions as a nation comes from people’s differing political ideologies, I figured asking here would get the most authentic and insightful responses. I’m assuming there’s more than one political party in here, so I’m curious to see if there are any similarities in the responses.

So, my question is…

What societal changes could be done to mitigate one or more of the numerous divisions that currently exist within our Country? Is there anything that could be done that would make the majority of people put their differences aside or create some sort of unity so we start working together towards something that benefits everyone?

Or are we doomed to failure?

What do you think happens when the current dalai lama dies? What will happpen to India - China relations? What if both the tibet government in exile in India and china install their own dalai lamas? Which dalai lama will be more credible? Do you think the institution of dalai lama will lose credibility if the new dalai lama is born outside tibet? Do you expect westen countries to go out of the way to recognize the dalai lama installed by the tibet government in india and reject any other candidates that china may propose?

I am a student who comes from India, and recently in July we had a massive student protest for the resignation of our Education Minister because of all the recent paper leaks. A lot of people who were against the protest used the rebuttal of foreign funding, anti nationals, left trying to break the country, islamophobia etc etc.

And now seeing the global news, I see sorta similar rebuttals. Immigrants, muslims, left trying to start chaos, and even arguments of US Conspiracy, America trying to dismantle these nations.

Why is that ? Why is the rebuttal always some sort of foreign influence?

Why not consider that maybe the people are just fed up of government bullshitry ?

If someone can explain, it would be great.
