People who appreciate traditionalism in society, how do we know we're not the actually the bad ones?

if you think your ideal world is the only way of being 'normal', i'd say you are close to being a bigot. i don't see a problem with some of the traditional values as long as they are not the rule (as in the law) and people who ""deviate"" should not get punished for being/doing different. that said, if ""deviant"" becomes the new 'normal' and traditional values become the new deviant, then we'll just have a different problem and not a solution for the 'traditional' problems. i don't think people should embrace everything and everyone. but everyone deserves respect, even people we don't agree with.

I don't dislike these people at all. The ability to coexist is there. It's that they don't seem to want that. As the other user replied, we cannot both be right, they want to make it so that one of us is wrong.
