Today I saw someone on my morning walk, he said hi, I said hi back, and then he reacted like I hadn't responded and got pissed off at me ("I guess its NOT a good morning, then!"). Every single human interaction outside my intimate circle makes me feel horrible. This guy just chose not to hold up his part of the bargain. It's like he chose to react badly, no matter what I actually did.
I think you're probably equally intelligent unfortunately
I think this is misguided and a bit too optimistic. Racist cops don't become racist because of their lived experiences, they're already racist when they take the job.
I said our grandparents used to treat each other and their peers well, by disagreeing with each other gracefully. There was no mention of abuse in my post at all. I wasn't talking about my grandparents specifically, I was talking about "our" grandparents, collectively.
I didn't mention an abusive domestic relationship anywhere in my post at all.
In what world is a single comment on the internet the same as an abusive domestic relationship?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah there has to be a balance between "what a clever idea!" and "lol that's dumb why are you talking to me"
The comparison to a niche online community makes a lot of sense.
