That entire post has left reality a long time ago. Honestly, this level of resentment can't be healthy.

You've clearly become what you're (allegedly) so vehemently against.

Dear responder, your handle has KKK in it. If you prefer to be called something else, that's a strange way of going about it.

interesting example of the whole phenomenon. presumption of guilt and sentencing and dismissal without any evidence of wrongdoing.

Parent requested not to be called names; had KKK in their username. Is this bizarro world? Please explain. I'm really not getting it.

It reads like, "ProudBigot123: Please stop calling me a bigot!"

I think that many people, perhaps the majority, would not draw that connection or jump to that conclusion. For myself, it seems paranoid and delusional, moreso due to your certainly. It speaks of being primed with a hair trigger to suss out and accuse people. Based on our past conversation, I know that you have deep seated emotional responses to ideas around social justice and race, and view the world and very extreme and binary terms. This is not everyone's lived experience.

Kinda like if I assumed you aware a Nazi based on your username including frog, in reference to Pepe the right wing hate symbol.

Thank you for explaining! I appreciate it

I think it's best to understand it in terms of entirely different separate realities that define political ideologies nowadays, like it's not just that I disagree with you, we don't even share the same plane of existence anymore. Like for example conservatives love to call Biden a marxist/far-leftist — it's incomprehensible gibberish to me, it goes against everything I believe to know about reality, but it probably makes a lot of sense to you, you might even agree with the statement. It's not a disagreement in the traditional sense, it's not something we could talk about and reach some sort of mutual understanding.

The same is true with people using the term "woke", to describe something they believe exists and is a great danger somehow, the most important political struggle of our times even perhaps. And you're right, in your perception of reality it really is scary and worth fighting against. It's just that I believe you are living in a dangerous, delusional fantasy that has nothing to do with reality. That's why finding common ground is pretty much impossible unfortunately.

Like one time I saw a conservative calling the world economic forum a far-left institution, I really don't think a productive conversation between leftists, liberals and conservatives is even possible at this point.
