    Not like you give a shit at all but hate crimes against my kind have skyrocketed in the past few months and I was assaulted by a stranger in public about two weeks ago so I don’t appreciate the implication that this doesn’t affect me personally

        Well, my people have been oppressed for over 2000 years, but I’m not counting that since I haven’t been alive for most of it.

          There’s a video going around that pretty much has a lot to say about what biblical scholars have found out about that, you should watch it. But the world as it is has everyone essentially belonging to “people” who would be oppressed if they chose to move someplace else in the world, they just don’t build their entire identity around it. I mean, look at the Canaanites, they even have religions that completely sanctify their genocide in their scriptures.

      Not what you were complaining about or even identifying with. About the only common theme is a desperate love for making yourself out to be the victim after receiving criticism.

      The only one trying to live in a bubble of ignorance is yourself, my comment was leading up to the exact opposite, that if it does not affect you personally, it will, so stop acting and ignoring all the people it is affecting personally because of “me, me, me” and how and when it less severely affects you, and face it.

      Getting assaulted by a stranger is bad, huh. Now apply f-ing empathy, get some off of ebay if you must. Just don’t try to get me to empathize with playing the part of an ignorant fool.
