Thanks for showing you care by taking the time to comment. And for creating a paradox, because now if the reader is to live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats", they will be following your directive, and caring for what you think, and thusly not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" Their only option otherwise is to not live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" as their individual expression, yet that too would be not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats". Perhaps they will need to return for more advice on living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats".

I don't care. Say what you want because, 494 votes on the topic? 152 comments, many based around me anyway? Yeah, no one is listening to this instance anyway. And therefore, there is no one to care.

Laughter is medicine for humanity. If you are laughing, there is hope.

I thought there were only nine Supreme Court Justices

Beauty built this country.

I read beat poets, outlaw poets, stream of consciousness, freestyle hip hop, but I cannot for the life of me figure what this could actually mean. Is he calling poor people beautiful? Seems out of character.

Undervalued comment.

I mean, as long as the info is upfront, why does it matter? They are not censoring the Internet, they are censoring their own little chunk of it. That's cool with me, anyway. I myself am not the echo chamber type, but I do sometimes prefer a more civil platform, and in human society that inevitably requires some uniformity or commonality.

Yeah, I pretty much mean it is the formula for human cognition.

First visualization: me shaking my head in near disbelief.

Second visualization: me realizing this is some twit on social media and no longer caring.

Third visualization: me considering the psychology in my head and laughing. Albeit uncomfortably.

Go be white and right, bro. Have the day you deserve.

Thank you for again telling me the situation. It is important that you elucidate on the weakness of my cognitive skills, to draw contrast to your own intellectual superiority. Perhaps you feel this is a conversation to be "won", or that you in some way are "holding ground". That is possibly your POV, though of course, I have no way to be sure.

What I do know is that having our opinions or thoughts called into question can psychologically put us on the defensive, feeling attacked. Identity-Protective Cognition hardens our stance, and we become unwilling to concede at all. Because existentially, it feels like a danger. It feels bad.

So what I will do is concede that we may both have succumb to such, as is cognitively standard, and quite prevalent in today's digital, social media filled society. I certainly become protective and defensive in situations involving my ethnic group. And I can easily see how one could become so in regards to perceiving someone taking your words out of context or over-inflating their impact.

There is a difference between being unintentionally insensitive and being racist or hateful. I do feel, personally, there may have been some unintentional insensitivity in the comment, but I do not think you are hateful of Jews. And please realize, I am telling you how it reads to me. Perhaps it reads differently to you; I do not have your contexting within my brain. But, you also do not have mine, and this is where the unintentional comes in.

Regardless, you are correct that this isn't productive. I am sure you are not a specifically bad person, and realize this was just a little Internet interaction. Words rarely ever have meaning standing alone. We do not share each other's perspectives, but likely are not really in conflict at all.

Nice. Playing the victim. Won't back down. That's the spirit.
