    yeah look, that’s all a reasonable point of view.

    I’m not trying to call you out, but I’d be curious as to what you have done personally to stand up to injustices that were doled out by the government of your own country.

    I’ll also still stand by my original statement that it’s not useful to go on the internet and write “typical out-group person”, full stop.

The difference is, we’re all now on the same side saying “Don’t do that, we won’t let you do it”. We’ve done it. It’s wrong. We’re speaking from experience and trying to make a better world where this doesn’t happen anymore.

        Well, this is a little unusual. I’ve marched in DC and attended more protests than I can count. Thanks for making assumptions though, its neat
