Released on Novemberย 22, 1968, the Beatles album colloquially known as the White Album "is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, British blues, ska, music hall, pre-heavy metal and the avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics ...as one of the greatest albums of all time." (Wikipedia)

Do you feel it's better to fight with all of your being for a single cause or spread your energy to support several causes?
Yes.
I mean, yes, we will fight with all our being for a single cause. And, yes, we will also spread our energy to support several causes. Is one better than the other? I donโt know, and quite frankly I donโt care.
Singers: George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay

Preparing America for World War II: Franklin Roosevelt, Isolationism, and America First
In his Third Inaugural Address on January 20, 1941, Roosevelt declared:
"We know [democracy] cannot dieโbecause it is built on the unhampered initiative of individual men and women joined together in a common enterpriseโan enterprise undertaken and carried through by the free expression of a free majority."
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/third-inaugural-address
Although FDR was supported by African Americans in the North, he was supported by segregationists in the South. Yet, he was a great president. With an isolationist in the Oval Office, the non-democratic countries might have obliterated enough democracies that the United States might have been alone in the end.

Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.
Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers', especially on Twitter, seem to not think critically.
