California is just Fucked-Up

[Freija]

First of all, my chatbox buddy @Finspiracy and I have privately worked out what was a simple misunderstanding about the common U.S. saying ”don’t believe everything you read”. It’s all good! We hugged and laughed about what he thought was a personal attack and he’s coming over with some of my other friends for tacos, beer and rippin’ killer bong hits tonight!

People who have been oppressed all there life because of who they are, because they are different in the eyes of others often grow tired and seek out anyone or belief system that seems to accept them. They see they are been used but cannot accept another betrayal so they fight even harder for the very people who are using them.
It leads to an even more lonely and isolated life.

I apologize but I'm a bit lost on your post, so I will ask for clarification:

Who's been oppressed "all their life" and are seeking out any belief system that "seems to accept them"? And who is using their need of acceptance?

(Who, what, where, when, why, how)

Hi @Grace! I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure but thanks for the opportunity to meet and interact with you.

Let me offer my own interpretation of Mr. Wallfire’s pop psychology analysis which despite his protestations to the contrary are obviously directed at me as rather than actually contribute much to this conversation with his own thoughts and feelings about the topic, his main contribution has been to repeatedly infer that I am a bot working from the playbook of the “Left/Islam” who is now suggesting that I am oppressed, have issues and suffering something akin to  Stockholm Syndrome.

I offered an olive branch and to make peace if he would desist with the nonsense but it seems he wishes to continuously and pointlessly to poke the bear as it were and can’t leave well enough alone. It’s okay, using a strawman is a common approach and a deflection when one has nothing to actually contribute or cogent thoughts of their own to add to a discussion. Using Finspiracy’s comment to ironically “get the last word in” and make another thinly disguised dig doesn’t bother me in the least but I kind of wish he’d give it up and let it go.

For the record, I am not oppressed, have a good and happy life and am well liked and respected by my friends and associates, however, I am silently a part of a minority group that typically hasn’t been as fortunate and rather than sit back from my position of lofty privilege and ignore the needs and issues of this group as a whole, when someone says something unfair or inaccurate, the least I can do is step in and offer information to maybe help those willing to listen have more informed opinions. Unfortunately, some see this as propaganda.

I hope that clears that up?

Finally to Mr. @Ninurta, now that’s what I call having a discussion! I’ve been too busy with work and life to respond but I appreciate your thoughts and opinions and the time taken to share them. You set a good example for others to follow.
