Mhm
*Heh*. **Ironic**
I am
I am Armenian and Georgian
my grandmother and her sister were murdered by the russians, and I was intentionally harmed by a nurse as a baby because of my last name
So, im about as far from a russian bot as possible.... (i mean yes, of course, bleep bloop)
I have a Polish friend who lives about 10 minutes away from Bremerton in Canada (near the border of Washington state) and his family dealt with the Russian persecution and communism. They fled to America hoping to leave that all behind, but not before the scars were formed.
He has stories, let me tell you. As I'm sure you do as well.
Eerie how quickly the world gleefully forgets.
Quite so, yes.
Worth mentioning, I am not for open immigration either.
So he made a fool of himself all around
Hah, based.
i was tempted to pull my maga hat out of my backpack (which i carry everywhere)
but i decided to not trigger someone who will be sitting near me the entire semester
Smart
ive worn it to school before, students had debates with professors about whether I should be allowed on campus
because its disruptive and hateful, akin to wearing a white hood
Ouch
That sounds just retartarded
Par for the course in academia for whatever reason
I remember the first day I wore it, my best friend at school literally cried, and then went up to me and made a lengthy speech about how she would still accept me
I just.... wore a damn hat
Ikr. It's kind of stupid how clothing is a trigger now.
If they think they're doing you a favor for "accepting you" after wearing a damn hat, then, they were not your friend to begin with. At all.
Ngl he has a point. If someone judges you for a hat there's something up with them
I got *really* close to redpilling that friend, but she's currently stuck on "yeah, YOU can defend your positions and have policy reasons for supporting him, but he still enables and represents racists and horrible people!"
...*sigh*...
she admitted that because I had already been her friend was why she felt compelled to get over her initial reaction, but if i had not been close to her already she wouldnt give me the time of day
anyway.... ive been lurking without commenting in the community for so long i guess all the personal stories are just spilling out
but but.. he never dissavowed racists in charlottesville! </sarcasm>
Is fine my dood .
<-- was mainly a lurker as well.
I am as well.
I do too
I quite like hearing stories about others.
"but did you watch the actual speech?" "well, no, but he said there's very fine people on both sides!" .... "watch the damn speech and decide for yourself what he said or meant"
I like watching stuff go down
As do I. It's the only way to truly get what you need out of it.
I tried to show the WHOLE speech to my father in law.. he didn't watch it.
