Is that... gonna get us anything... good?
As opposed to this approach? Eventually you'll learn that communication is a two-way street, and if you want people to see your point of view, barging in, demanding the floor and then throwing a hissy-fit when you don't get the response you want isn't really the way to accomplish that.
Of course I appreciate that. Well, maybe not "of course." You all don't know me any more than I know you.
But look at the historical perspective of the situation and think about the amount of massive action it takes to turn a corrupted social tide in this country. Think how resistant people were to desegregation. They want to believe that which allows them to express their frustrations via nationalized murders and thefts. They are objectively horrible people. I don't want them to be confused into thinking there's any room for good people to approve of their life choices. They're enslaving and murdering the world and laughing about it. Fuck them and fuck their feelings.
Communication is most certainly a two way street, but can we not also admit other facts? Such as that my OP did not deserve the derision it got; that the topics are much more important than any comfortable first-worlder's feelings; that we got this way as a society by thinking it's rude to step on another person's illusions; etc.
I provoke people into acting the way they've acted in this thread so that they can see themselves better. It works better than being calm.
