This is the first time I have seen you on the defensive.
I'm not defending anything, so I don't think it's possible for me to be "on the defensive."
I'm a 100% against racism and will denounce all those who commit it
I am 100% against racism and the alleged comments outlined in the first post of the thread. The problem is Hunter Biden is not the president of the United States, it's whataboutism, and we aren't sure these comments are real.
\as most of my children are "minorities"
People should be against racism, regardless of whether or not their children are "minorities."
But you "gender neutral person"
I'm a cis male. I am not gender neutral, not that there's anything wrong with being gender neutral. It's as valid gender identity as cis male, for example.
have been wrong in most of your denigration of others.
I don't believe I've denigrated another human being in recent memory. I've criticized (in my opinion, fairly criticized) ideas, but I haven't denigrated people, and it has not been my intention to denigrate people.
I'm quite sure you were raised the same way I was in a similar demographic, brainwashed.
I'm not sure how anybody could reasonably reach the conclusion that I was raised brainwashed. Regardless of whether or not you agree with my ideas, you have no idea what my upbringing was like.
If you're actually interested (I doubt you are), my upbringing was extremely apolitical. I was probably 18 the first time there was a presidential election in which I knew the names of both major party candidates. My parents voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. They have since become more progressive and more Democratic. I'd like to take credit for it, but the failures, idiocy, and immorality of the former president did a lot of the work for me.
When you make bold and unsubstantiated claims like "you were brainwashed during your upbringing," that says a lot more about you than it does about me. At best, you're coming off as ridiculously and overly defensive. At worst, you're projecting your own baggage onto me. Either way, it's not my business.
I hope that one day, you can see all sides. Too much of the right is bad, too much of the left is really bad atm.
I can already see and understand both sides of an argument. That doesn't mean one side isn't demonstrably wrong.
Too much of the right is bad, too much of the left is really bad atm.
I've never claimed that the Democratic Party is infallibly good. I have a lot of criticisms of some members of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party in general. However, that doesn't make the two major parties comparable, and I would argue that the Republican Party has become a party of corrupt, anti-scientific, and anti-democratic loons, to name a few things.
One day, if you're truly intelligent (which I believe you are) will wake up and see the evil that is plaguing the US.
I think it's clear the domestic evil that is plaguing the United States, and it's the party of corrupt, anti-scientific, and anti-democratic loons that are blindly following a wannabe-despot off a cliff and taking American democracy with them.
But don't dismiss other's opinions as they have lived a different life than yours and seen things that you have not.
If someone says something that's demonstrably and objectively wrong, I'm going to point it out.
