What were you THINKING?

Fuck off, genocide denier.

Oh, I love this. If I don’t explain it, I get accused. If I do explain it, I get accused. If I’m an asshole, you’re a worse one. Fuck off.

Did your thread allow for any debate at all, or was all debate or questioning of your point labeled as “not understanding your point”?

Of course, as long as you first understand that only vile racists who are white (but I repeat myself) looking for an excuse to justify their racism would even want to debate The Savior’s Perfect Message in the first place.

Blow it out your ass, fuckface. I feel sickened every time your ugly self shows up anywhere.

You are coming across extremely angry. A good time to step away from the keyboard and do something else. Or at least take a short break from SDMB.

Sorry to have added to your stress.

Welcome to the Dope.

I feel your frustration.

But, dang, lady…

Speaking of White male cis-het privilege and supremacy, most of yous check all the boxes except for the top rung, due to your atheism when Christianity is insisted on, one thing that keeps yous out of full acceptance.

As for Judaism? Jews are extremely unprivileged vis-à-vis Christians, much more so than atheists. There have been way too many centuries of injustice against Jews just for being Jews. Anti-Semitism is an evil every bit as bad as anti-Black racism.

U.S. military aid to Israel is driven by apocalyptic Christians who secretly hate Jews.

To keep it simple: What debate did your thread allow?

Well, I didn’t think it would become a debate about misconstruing everything I say.

That isn’t the question. Try again.

Quod scripsi, scripsi. What I wrote, I wrote.

Was anyone doing that?

That’s good, it means you have a built in excuse to ignore and dismiss whatever they say!

And what you wrote was not to be disagreed with, or even questioned.
Got it.

Wrong again! That was in response to being accused of using drugs. Point being: White male cis-het privilege dulls the mind. Being a member of a trodden-on minority sharpens the mind. I know that Jews experience this all the time, so do Black people. I would have included “Christian” in the list of privilege, because that is the top rung, but for the general atheism here.

I didn’t think they are very secretive about it. I’m not sure what that has to do with the current discussion, though.

And what makes someone spout off incomprehensible non-sequitors like the one quoted above?

To be an agent of change, you need to be able to get your message across to those who need to hear it. Part of that is crafting your message in a way that will be receptive to those that need to hear it. It’s not enough to have a message. The message must be relatable to those that hear it. Your passion is certainly coming through in your message, but it’s also coming across very strong. It’s like trying to get us to to drink from a firehose. It’s very forceful. People may resist what you’re saying because they are trying to resist the force of it rather than what the message is trying to get across. And I admit, I’ve been having a bit of trouble following your threads. I think you’ll make a bigger change by stepping back and trying to make your message more relatable.

And I hope you can see the irony of making this kind of insult when you had just created a thread about racism. This would also be a good instance for you to step back and consider why you felt it was appropriate to disparage a group of people when you yourself are trying to fight racism.

My entirely justified condemnation of Babale elicited an affirmation that I’m not anti-Semitic, that I condemn anti-Semitism in the strongest terms and I always have. These days it is becoming more important to affirm that, especially when criticizing Israel. My 26½ years’ posting here is my record that I’ve always condemned anti-Semitism.

That was in response to an accusation that I’m using drugs. My point is: How can anyone not be alarmed right now? Extreme danger is imminent.
