    A mod deleted my comment and suggested I approach in a better way. I apologize for my presentation.

    You were righteously angry. And, it’s definitely not ethical for the other to respond to words with physical violence.

    I’m a multiple-minority with a strong sense of justice. I speak from experience when I say: We must pick our battles and means wisely, particularly since the orange baffoon emboldened a wide scope and magnitude of hatred.

    I wasn’t there. But, it seems almost certain this was not a wise battle for you to fight alone, perhaps at all. There’s almost certainly something you should learn from this. And, whatever it is to be learned, it’s definitely not to silence yourself and advocate others follow.

    If you tell us more and solicit others’ input then maybe there’s insight we could offer. And, if this isn’t a safe enough space to do that, PM me. I’ll share a place where such a post would be very well-received.

















  • I ran an experiment: I only posted the facts without the reasoning. They’re not stupid. They reasoned it out quickly. But, the conclusions disturbed their comfort. It’s comfort they value most. Truth and justice be damned.

    If you find one engaging IRL then investment there is a much, much better ROI for our future. All we can do here, in this format, is sow the seeds of doubt.
