Unless your way of changing things involves massive genocide, you're going to have to get comfortable with wanting the basic needs met for the people you dislike.

    The fuck are you talking about? I'm saying people who think that way should live that way also. When did everyone's brain fail out of their ear here?

    Yes, exactly. You believe that people who do not think that all people's needs should be met should live without their basic needs met, right? That's what you said? If not, you need to be more deliberate with your language. (Which, ironically, would put you in the category of people you are talking about).

    Sigh.

    This is like being back at reddit. I'm just going to block you.

    Man, I feel you. You say X and then a mob of rabid dogs comes at you with "SO YOU SUPPORT HITLER??!??!". Modern online discussion is soul-draining. You know what's funny to me? That these people copy and pasted reddit, and instead of removing downvotes or at least bringing them back to a tool for moderating off-topic content, they kept them. And they still use them as a "I disagree" button, which is against the original purpose of the reddiquette that no one ever read. Also they made it decentralized but not peer to peer, so basically they ended up promoting reddit mods to instance admins. Amazing revolutionary pragmatism.

    I'm not a mob of rabid dogs, I'm one human being. And all I'm trying to do is understand what this person was trying to say and if I was misinterpreting them or not. I never jumped to a, "SO YOU SUPPORT HITLER?!!?!?" I was just looking for clarification and what I got instead was blocked. That's not discussion, that's putting your head in the sand.
