I can only speak for myself, but yours and JI’s posts on this subject increasingly make me feel like I ought to shut up because I’m clearly not as educated about it or as embroiled on social media about it. Do you think that’s constructive or healthy?
I am just giving my opinion and disagreements. I am not this ogre who sees himself above anyone. I find it wearying to just give opinions and be told that it’s bad because others disagree. I don’t think I am some great shakes, I am just an opinionated gobshite on a soapbox. I have my opinions and believe I have a right to give them, realise others disagree, and so be it. I don’t think you or IA (as I was saying in my response to JI) are lesser than me in intellectual capacity or morality. I am just giving my opinion. I try and rail against a general opinion I see, because I don’t like accusing individuals of malice when I am railing against a common theme I find troublesome among one group of people. Of course I fail in these principles at times, because I have flaws. I do my best to try and rectify and think where I went wrong in a discussion or with anything in life. However, if I see a problematic aspect among a group in general, I think it is important to call it out.
Yes, including among those who have agreements with me on this or other issues. I saw one pro-Israeli guy say we should deport all Muslims in response to anti-Semitism on our streets. Of course I will not shirk in saying that I find that disgusting and those who make such comments to be wrong, no matter their stance. I agree with you on much else regarding politics and hot topics, but won’t on everything. It doesn’t mean I think you’re bad or who I am referencing to when I am bemoaning anti-Semitism among Palestinian activists or whatever.
