Shouldn't it be don't trust the words before but?" Nice thing, but bad thing. "

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In the sense that you can ignore the words before "but", because the words after the 'but" are their real feelings and everything before the "but" is an excuse or attempt to frame the following words more favorably, and by ignoring that part you actually get a better understanding.

"I'm not racist, but ___".

"We understand and hear your concerns, but ____".

Right, so you ignore the first part, because only the second part is the honest part.

Right, we're on the same page. Probably my original post should have said 'you can cut out' rather than "don't trust" but it's close enough eh?
