  • Thank you for again telling me the situation. It is important that you elucidate on the weakness of my cognitive skills, to draw contrast to your own intellectual superiority. Perhaps you feel this is a conversation to be “won”, or that you in some way are “holding ground”. That is possibly your POV, though of course, I have no way to be sure.

    What I do know is that having our opinions or thoughts called into question can psychologically put us on the defensive, feeling attacked. Identity-Protective Cognition hardens our stance, and we become unwilling to concede at all. Because existentially, it feels like a danger. It feels bad.

    So what I will do is concede that we may both have succumb to such, as is cognitively standard, and quite prevalent in today’s digital, social media filled society. I certainly become protective and defensive in situations involving my ethnic group. And I can easily see how one could become so in regards to perceiving someone taking your words out of context or over-inflating their impact.

    There is a difference between being unintentionally insensitive and being racist or hateful. I do feel, personally, there may have been some unintentional insensitivity in the comment, but I do not think you are hateful of Jews. And please realize, I am telling you how it reads to me. Perhaps it reads differently to you; I do not have your contexting within my brain. But, you also do not have mine, and this is where the unintentional comes in.

    Regardless, you are correct that this isn’t productive. I am sure you are not a specifically bad person, and realize this was just a little Internet interaction. Words rarely ever have meaning standing alone. We do not share each other’s perspectives, but likely are not really in conflict at all.




  • Thank you for again further explaining to me how incorrect I am to assume antisemitism. I should have deferred cognition to someone who clearly knows a lot of Jews, and realized you would certainly know more about it than I. I’m glad you are confident what you have read and stated is “funny as fuck.” No point wasting time someone like me, who just gets his jimmies rustled over something so trivial.
    From now on I know to trust G***m, not question those who are clearly better informed and more positioned to make determinations on what is or isn’t offensive to me or my “easy to get their jimmies rustled” people.







  • The important part is how people are definitely not reactionary nowadays, Our intellect has grown, we are evolving! We can tell, because we are always correct now, and always on moral high ground. Obviously. Anyone who would even question that is ignorant. We know this so deeply it evokes rage when anyone is ignorant enough to question what we know. It is obvious we were inherently on the correct side, because we actually took the time to figure it out and they just go with the stupid things they feel or have naively just accepted without questions. This is why they all need to shut up, and they all need to go. I mean, if they would just listen for a second or do some research like we did but no, their refusal to do so just proves their ignorance. I don’t want to say we’re superior, but you know, we just know more because we put in more work.
