it’s not a shame. it’s what got me into Harvard when everyone told me I would never be admitted and I should go dipshit state u like the rest of my peers. most of whom failed out of dipshit state u anyway.
I hope this does not come across as unkind but… if you don’t like what you see, then change it?
This is what separates being able to have a rational discussion, about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with some people, vs. not being able to hold a rational conversation with certain other people about ANYTHING at all.
There’s even a name for this principle: the Paradox of Intolerance. Like imagine that you want to not allow any constraint against anyone at all in your society, but the trouble is that there is this one guy who goes around murdering literally everyone that he lays eyes upon. You could implement your ideal vision with everyone else you know, who are respectful and polite, but this ONE guy is preventing that. And he always will. And others will literally die if you don’t stop him. Thus you are forced to choose: either give up your perfect principles just a tiny bit, for just this one singular human being, or else he will eventually, given enough time (and I guess ammunition?) kill everyone else.
It is good to see clearly when looking at oneself. But we also need to see clearly when looking at others too. Having just one without the other violates the reality that we are not independent upon one another: the actions of one really, truly do affect everyone else around them.
What a shame.
I’m sorry you had to go through that.

I understand that you survived, but being treated that way is not alright.
i wasn’t beaten or murdered for it. lots of people are.
and lots of users here spend their days here posting about murdering strangers who disagree with them.
Well there’s idiots everywhere.
I see one in the mirror everyday.

not unkind, but you assume I don’t try.
I call myself an idiot because I am part of the human race, and that implies a certain… inability to change, even knowing better.
