Sorry, I just hate americans. I have met a lot of nice people, but never knowingly a nice american. The worst wars I see originate from them. They bring destruction to the world, to my friends. And I know there must be some pretty incredibly people over there, but I am yet to meet one in person. I view them as uneducated and moronic. That's on me.
I did not intend to make a dead end statement. But I most definitely wasn't going in the direction where I was justifying gerrymandering on the republicans side for the reasons that they did it. What I did intended to make was an observation. No emotions behind it, no alterior motives, just an observation. I'm aware that them saying it is equal is false, but that's doesn't me saying that they say it is false. It brings attention to the issue. Which I would say, despite me getting cyberbullied into oblivion (I'm good), I achieved. If you say you're sick of hearing it, then perhaps I misjudged the situation in that you are well aware. I'm from overseas, never been to the americas.
You, as in the community, are actively discouraging me as a human being with emotions from talking like this again. Which in this case means for me to show an observation of mine in a politically charged context. You don't tell someone over and over that they have an ill intend without that affecting them. After some time they might actually believe it themselves.
To communicate is to interpret. Absolutely. Then tell me why after me saying multiple times, that I meant what I said as a way to show that what they say equals, but not what they do, do you still misunderstand me? Are you having trouble interpreting what I mean? You are interpreting something into it that I did not say. That is the difference.
Buddhism disagrees with you. It's not the truth of course, but it says what I didn't say says nothing about me. It's what you make out of it that says a lot. If you can not see the things for what they are, then you are no better than a republican. In my culture we ask first before we decide if a person meant something he said the way we think they do, if that conflicts with us personally. I've been called all sorts of names by this community for such "inappropriate" behavior, even autistic.
I'm just gonna ignore the first part of your post, because that seems like we would just have an infinite back and forth.
To use your mental image to reiterate: I was not standing there saying "Wow, I can't believe these two guys are stopping people.".
I was standing there, saying to someone else " Hey, they both are stopping people, but are saying they are right."
The appropriate response would have been "Well, one of them is wrong." and not "Fuck, you're an arsonist?".
I can just say it again for clarity if you want. I don't think you understand what I am after, even though I've spelled it out multiple times.
I am also completely perplexed that a person from lemmy.world just called me comrade lmaoo.
