If it was true that it’s a waste of time to converse with others when paradings and ideologies are far away or even opposite to ours then if you think about it on a more extreme side diplomacy and ambassadors are then in your view just utterly useless and so much more a waste of time. If you tell me that you can’t do it in your own country and it’s a waste of time imagine the effort they have to do in some exotic culture.
It’s up to you. If you don’t want to do anything that has an impact too.
Surely we can distinguish between the relatively small number of people in diplomatic positions, a selected position with criteria (generally), and the rest of society?
IMO this argument carries very little water but rather “feels” right.
