I'm just responding in kind, what I said is no more "lashing out" than what you said.
I'm more than happy to have a conversation, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize and call out impossible standards. You want a state that never persecuted anyone, show me a society where people didn't knock out all their teeth that didn't persecute anyone. Every society has murderers, and every society makes mistakes, and someone who is unjustly punished for a murder they didn't commit could certainly be said to have been persecuted, no? So I don't accept this standard.
