Hey people! Why is it so fucking hard for us to just…. Get along? Left, right, up, down, I’d burn ANY flag, book, overcomplicated representation of any idea, etc. if it meant we just…. Looked at each other as people and without displayed bias?

I think it’s a little bit over simplified to say people are just randomly hating on each other bc of bias. Why is this point in our country’s history different?

I don’t hate people for who they are, I hate people for their beliefs that cause them to hate people for who they are. So as soon as they stop doing that, I’m all in.

For example, my brain heuristically goes to “because trump” because of my internal beliefs. But, why should that stop me from driving a pickup truck? Two unrelated things, unless we made it all up, or were slowly suggested to. Food for thought?

So you think political tensions were always this high, despite all of the crazy rhetoric and the record low number of bills passed in congress?

Words can mean different things my friend. I urge you to read ANY “national” news headlines from ANY combination of outlets, starting when the feeling of change started. Compare those ideas to the ones that are being spoken now. I’m truthfully not defending any side except the fact that we’re all people in the end, and we’re going to literally kill ourselves in the end if this “newspeak” continues, no matter the “side” it “protects”.

The tension is only there because we choose to play make believe rather than sitting down and talking as people. That’s my clinically insane perspective. Would McDonald’s be a thing if we all, unanimously, stopped eating there? I like mcgriddles, but I hate McDonald’s, the fast food restaurant. Same with the bus system, oh wait, we already did that. You see?

From his hypothetical perspective, that was the only way he saw to protect his ideas, by dying with them instead of explaining himself and where they came from. Now, a person hiding behind an Instagram profile with a ☦️ somewhere has an, at least 30% chance of being a neonazi. That’s not what that symbol stands for, right? Doesn’t matter what it “looks like” or what it “used to mean”, it’s the same shit different diet

“Illegal aliens” “the right” “the left” “the crazy” what about, instead of putting any descriptive word, however it may be taken, after the word people? Try that, genuinely. As hard as it is to breach your impenetrable shell. Did you do the thing with news articles I suggested, or do you not know how?

Well, I’m honestly not sure what the underlying message you’re trying to say anymore is. But, people known as illegal aliens and my surrogate mother share more in common than you’d probably think. They’d both probably fight you away from them before you could do whatever it is you’re thinking of.

Well, I hope you can carry out your fantasies safely with an accepting partner someday. Just because I don’t understand doesn’t mean it can’t be done in a healthy way somehow. I happen to know an Austrian guy, probably mid 40s who would look EXACTLY like Adolf with the right attire if that’s your thing. Want me to forward you his contact info? He’s pretty accepting too

Yes, my mother probably was grasping for an understanding. Or maybe she got it as she blew out her last breath 3 years ago. Man, I miss her. I can only help others say “love your neighbor” and truly mean it as she did as the life faded from her eyes. That’s kinda my whole thing, my “purpose” if you will. It’s a shame it takes this much time and effort.
