We may be responsible for only what we say in life but when friends or family make claims that we don't particularly agree with we feel compelled to support them because it is the honourable thing to do. We stand up for them even at the detriment of our own viewpoint because we don't want them to feel that we don't have their back but is it better to support their stupidity? or educate them in the understanding that we are all entitled to our own opinion? their choice of viewpoint doesn't mean everybody needs to follow their views just those who choose to. You can still be friends or at least friendly to those who don't agree with you just as long as the mutual understanding is that your belief is yours and anyone who chooses to follow your viewpoint can and my views are mine and anyone can agree to follow me if they choose. The only rule should be that we must be civil even though it can feel unfair if you don't have the following to get your way because the truth of the matter is that the rules are set for the majority because making most people happy is better than making the few people happy. If we focused on the few then in life most people would be unhappy, so a little compromise is fine as long as the majority of people are still happy. So, to determine what is the rational call would mean to listen to the community because the popular opinion displayed is the right call for the people. Those who disagree need to understand that should we choose the needs of the minority over the majority then we would be living in a community that will fall apart with the minority trying to hold things together. Choosing the majority is less of a sacrifice to the community that is why we should not support stupidity but educate it. An educated mind focusses on the masses that can contribute to society not the few that only want to disrupt it.
