    “Could it be that people were up in arms about Ukraine because Russia’s invasion was almost completely unprovoked, and they were fighting for their independence from a far superior military power, calling to mind for many people America’s own revolutionary war, combined with strong anti-Russian sentiment from both sides of the American political aisle? Could it be that the majority of Americans are hesitant to speak out now since the power that Netanyahu claims to be fighting against really is as despicable as he says it is and deserves to be wiped off the map, just not with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian casualties, and mainstream media that refuses to acknowledge the civilian casualties at all isn’t helping matters?”

    “…”

    “Nah, must be that all white people are racist.”

      Palestinians randomly attacked those people that colonized their land and put them in a concentration camp. It was completely unprovoked.

      Thank you for proving my point that you are literally incapable of empathy with brown people

        Dammit. Again. First sentence. When dealing with leftists, I have to remember they only read the first sentence.

        All of the nuance of the situation aside, for someone who hates stereotypes it seems awfully hypocritical to paint all those people with the same brush.

            What does this comment even mean, genuinely? Do you mean the post you are ardently defending, which, by virtue of having been written by a white person, disproves the point you are trying to make?

              It means that the poster has experienced disappointment in the lack of empathy of people surrounding him which ancestry has not experienced the hardships of oppression.

                Nuance his sentence a little.

                Bro. I did. You just saw someone criticising one of your opinions and got so angry you forgot how to read.

                    That’s just a fancy way of saying “I don’t want to discuss that anymore. Talk about this other thing instead.”

                    Well neither do I. Have a nice day. Or don’t. I’m not your dad.
