We're not as dumb as you're pretending to be. You have been engaged in just as honest and sincere a manner as you have engaged us. TFB if you don't like that your childish game of chicken hasn't gone your way.

I'm all for open & honest good faith discussions and exchanges of perspectives, but your approach made it blatant from the very first sentence that you were none of those things. You're an immature troll looking to play a stupid game of words so you can try to "validate" a persecution complex or something similar.

Thing is, it's been done for far too many years by people far better at it than you, so we're done trying to engage people who are obviously disingenuous. Sorry, you're too late to the party & missed the show. Time to go home & cry yourself to sleep assured that YOU are the victim in your own little fantasy.

You're right. You don't know, and you never will as long as you're more concerned with playing childish bullying games where you can convince yourself you've "won" instead of actually trying to learn the truth of what's going on outside your little bubble because it's too complicated for you to bother putting the effort into understanding.

You can convince yourself you're strong right up to when you run into a brick wall because Trump's thugs are just like you and don't GAF until they suddenly do when it hurts them personally, by which time it's too late. It's an attitude of selfish childishness, and you need to outgrow it to avoid being run over by a bigger bully.

Yes, we're giving "passionate" responses (as you noted elsewhere) because we actually care about what's right for everybody, even those we disagree with such as yourself. Think of it as self-preservation if that makes more sense to you - much along the lines of that "...then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me" poem.
