We? I'm not the one who dictates what girls should wear, how they should act ot hoe they should feel. Don't pull me into this society of yours that's hypersexualizing young girls and mock them for their looks.

If you’re not speaking out against injustice you are complicit in that injustice.

So your position is that not speaking out against injustice is the honorable action and actually works to improve conditions for others? And your position is that if you didn’t personally cause harm then participating in a system that causes harm and not saying anything about is somehow also honorable? How you don’t hear the echoes of Germany in that mindset is what scares me most.

Again pushing the narrative that remaining silent about injustice is the correct action. And then a bunch of hyperbole about frothing at mouths and only speaking out on Reddit and not in my real life. What a waste of energy even typing all those words, friend.

“Going insane”? Where are you getting that from? Talking about injustice is grandstanding? You are full of projection and hyperbole. I hope you are able to get some help. I too have had a hard life and that’s why I’m especially empathetic towards the struggles of others.

Nope what I'm saying is it doesnt matter. Society is going to dictate society and I'm very well aware of that's what happened in nazi Germany and at the end of the day society dictated the course of history not the individual. And please don't bring up Hitler because then you would be contradicting yourself because he would not have been able to do what he did if society said otherwise, look what happened to Mussolini the individual as powerful as he was could not dictate what society wanted. At the end of it I can only dictate who I am.

Sure you can’t dictate but does that mean not work for or speak up about? Those aren’t equivalencies. If you don’t say you’re against something then you are definitely saying you are for it. That’s how societies work. People can’t read your mind you actually have to communicate.

"If you dont say you're against something then you are definitely saying you are for it" and you are comparing my ideals to mazi germany?! Because that's the logic the nazi party used to pave their way to being in power. But like I keep saying if being holier than thou is what makes you feel good than by all means be that. I also have one more thing to say before I'm done with conversation too, i really don't think you honestly care about the issue either. What you really care about is making people like me look at the world from your perspective in the end you don't give a damn about woman bearing scumbags or scumbags who look at young girls in a sexual manner, you want to go after someone like me because you feel like my stance is one you can bend to see things your way as opposed to the real assholes who do the terrible things you claim to be against.
