“Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em all!”

How did you guess?

Look you’ve been shot down so many times by so many people, but ‘they’re all wrong and I’m right’ is your take away?

I’m beginning to think troll rather than misguided.

I’ll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:

YOU CAN’T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!

It really is quite simple.

Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.

As someone interviewed on TV asked; Are these more adverts rather than artworks?

There’s currently only 1 user that I’ve noticed that keeps bringing race up.

Tit for tat with some forgiving, even more so. I’m attempting the ‘forgiving’ part.

I’m prepared to lose contact with people that are problematic or toxic, especially those with the more radical views, but it’s not nice to watch someone I’ve known for many years gradually lose all their friends for similar reasons.

Thank you for the excellent response!

The problem seems to be a mental disconnect they just cant overcome.

Immediately after criticizing some racist news story (so not all bad!) they then mocked the reporter or news reader for their appearance.

I pointed out the hypocrisy of that being just the same as how racism starts. I don’t think it sunk in in any meaningful way though.

Based on many other things, and that was my first response too, I don’t think they are capable of self reflection enough for that to sink in.

Seems to be a worrying trend these days.

I tried that kind of approach yesterday.

Their response was to mock someone else on TV.

I’ve mentioned it a couple of times now. Last time I told them even if they cant see the issue with it, it bothers me and other people, so cut it out.

The response was something like “yeah other person says that to me too”.

That’s when I start to wonder why I bothered.

I genuinely thought it was a pretty good opening ceremony.

The themes were great, especially Marie Antoinette. By far the most inclusive opening ceremony I’ve seen!

To be fair, that is true!

We are each in our own simulated ‘reality’ of whats going on out there.

Perhaps it wold be nice if people could ‘re-calibrate’ their ‘realities’ sometimes?

It’s strange isn’t it? It ‘seems obvious’ but there’s such resistance, and not just from those who benefit from the status quo.

Aww thanks! Love you too!

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”

Honestly, sometimes yes.

I genuinely can’t understand ‘peoples’ need to hate on each other. All the time.

But I feel like the tin foil hat wearing loony when I share this sentiment with most people.

Looks interesting!

Signed up and will be trying this!

A quarter century of shameless piracy! Now that’s something to celebrate!

Grave of the Fireflies. Not the same type of fucked up, but I don’t want to watch it again!
