Your right to exist is an example of something that should easily win over 99% of those debates. 100% of them actually if you assume any human at all has a right to exist.
… I’m saying that the life I’m currently living, and the lives of my friends, and materially worse precisely because there are a lot of people who do not think we deserve to exist.
You make it sound like this trivially simple process. That all we have to do is have these discussions and we’ll come out with a positive result. That we just need to go out there, and we’ll change hearts and minds, and we’ll all live happily ever after.
What world are you living in? Pull your head out of your arse.
We’ve been having these same discussions for decades at least. We’ve had genocides and fought wars over these ideas that you think we should just “change people’s minds” about.
And you keep disregarding what I’m saying, and ignoring that your approach objectively doesn’t work, and ignoring that it only serves to alienate the people you are insisting you are allied with. People like you are the reason so many minorised people hate centrists. You are the exact type of moderate MLK Jr. expressed disappointment over in his letter from a Birmingham jail.
But this interaction has been what I have come to expect from an “enlightened” centrist. It’s The Cost of Doing Business.

No. I’m the one taking the abuse, and you’re the idiot telling me I shouldn’t fight back and should try talking things out instead.
Don’t flatter yourself. You aren’t my ally. You are the enemy.
