    I think that even if you’re talking to a lot of people, given our interaction, it’s a blind spot for you. People may just give up and not talk to you when you are being condescending or just not day anything because they want to be polite. It’s a little presumptuous to say “well most of the time it isn’t a problem but since it’s only come up once or twice I don’t have to respect these people to acknowledge what they are saying and can just double down on educating them.”

    Maybe then people won’t assume you’re being low-key racist and call you out on it like I did.

      I can acknowledge that you personally feel this way, but I don’t see it as a broader phenomenon because I don’t run into this problem. I was never being racist either.

        If you don’t get how you came off as racist then you clearly didn’t care to listen to what I said earlier.

              I never made anything close to a joke about SA or any racist statements, though, and you sound like someone trying to discredit a point by wielding this accusation like a club just because I don’t agree with you.

                I didn’t say that you said anything about rape. Damn you really don’t care about what other people say do you… If you cared you’d actually read stuff and try to understand it.

                  You compared me to someone refusing to apologize for a joke about SA, which I said I never made anything close to that. I didn’t say you said I made one. I really don’t think I should listen to what you have to say if you don’t actually care to read and understand what I say.

                    I do, and did, but you’re so utterly blind as to how you’re coming off, when I point it out, you go “nu-uh”, try to explain more politics at people, or get offended. It’s really amazing to watch, it’s like, seeing a guy on fire who’s in absolute denial of it. But then denying being on fire makes the guy more on fire?

                    Like, you come on in here saying that maybe Americans should lead a communist revolution, because they all think the same, even though that’s like, a lot of different cultures and everything, and when someone points out that’s kinda racist, your response was to explain communism harder and say that it wasn’t racist because you decided it wasn’t. And I’ve tried multiple angles for days to see if you at any point would go “yeah that was a little fucked up of me” or even the minimum of “I could see how someone could see that”, and instead you humblebrag about how “no one else has had a problem with it with my many many friends”, and double down again.

                    It’s the perfect storm of ego and lingo trying to seen intellectually and morally superior when you’re actually doing something shitty. You’re like, the strawman that conservatives make up of the Left. It’s like seeing a unicorn it’s amazing, except the unicorn is on fire?

                    And now, after days of doubling down and denial, after saying you’re deliberately not saying anything to recognize what I said, you’re winging about feeling like you’re not being heard.

                    BRAVISIMO! IT’S THE IRONY CHERRY ON THE TOP! INCREDIBLE! CHEF’S KISS PERFECTION! YOU’RE MAD ABOUT THE THING YOU’RE DOING TOO!

                    That was a delight, absolutely.

                    So I’m pretty sure that wraps up this saga. I can’t get you to admit you did anything wrong because you think you’re perfect, and you can’t get me to admit you’re perfect and did nothing wrong. So this conversation is going nowhere other than as an amusement or the stroking of an ego.

                    Knowing your type, you’ll probably insist of having the last word anyway, try to pull off that W in the Internet debate box, but I’m not above that either and maybe you’ll surprise me and end this charade.
