General Discussion

So the two groups at odds in Poland managed to find common ground. That is great!

“One way to reduce toxic polarisation is for activism to focus on common problems rather than ideologies. In Poland, several environmental and health-related civil initiatives have bridged divides between political camps. To name just one successful case: the “Kraków Smog Alarm” (Krakowski Alarm Smogowy) environmental movement, where residents—regardless of political preferences—united to combat air pollution, pressuring the municipality to phase out coal heating and improve public transport”.

Would this happen in America? I’ll bet here you’d get a bunch of loony right wing nutters who would say fighting air pollution and improving public transportation is too “woke.” I wonder if there will ever be any kind of common ground here. But I hope it will happen some day.
