I'm sharing my lived experience because I care. From here it seems like you're throwing judgments and accusations at me to justify your own hatred. I know it can feel like a source or strength, especially when you've felt its impact, but I promise you it's not. You're allowing the worst of us to drag you to their level, and joining in a self-destructive game they're much better at. I see what you're doing as letting "the nazis" win. Expanding your sense of the other, responding to it with violence, acting from fear rather than love, successfully atomized and volatile and raw for exploitation. I guarantee you and the guy with a maga hat on top of his klan hood have more in common than either of you do with any politician or billionaire, very much including the impact your behaviour has. Continuing to love and be vulnerable through suffering is in no way rolling over. Amplifying that suffering, picking it up as a weapon and inflicting what has been inflicted on you on another, is far more fundamental a capitulation than helping someone in need you don't feel "deserves" it. I hope one of my platitudes reach you, and can promise my whole heart is in them. Good luck out there.
No, I'm throwing judgements and accusations at you because they are accurate statements about the results of your beliefs.
I don't give a shit what we have in common. What we don't have in common is being a bigoted piece of shit and that's not a divide I'm willing to cross.
Capitulation to what? I'm talking about reality, not whatever made up bullshit you have going on in your head that you're using to argue that magas deserve the compassion they are actively doing everything in their power to take away from everyone else.
Arrogant confidence in dismissing one another as "piece of shit" is in this context unfortunately the most relevant part of your commonality. I was speaking of capitulation to hatred itself, of course. I'm not making up hatred, or the peace that I wish you. Please be well
Please, explain to me how fascist, racist, sexist, pedophile felon supporting bigots could possibly not be pieces of shit.
I don't think I can. I'm sorry.
