Soooo ... reddit?
//EDIT: I had to come back to this. I couldn't really understand what bugged me about your post and then I realized that you seem to actually care what people say or post?
It has taken me a while to really come to grips with: freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of association. Only as I have watched good people loose their freedoms by trying to express one of those three have I started to really see other humans multidimensionally. So, for me, when someone writes something no matter how crazy of vile I can see that their post from multiple perspectives at once. This has a happy accident, which is that I stop seeing what they wrote and I start to see the person (and their struggles) that wrote it.
I REALLY REALLY NEED TO KNOW: Can you tell us a little bit about what you find so offensive? What kinds of posts are offensive? What is really driving you to write something that one dimensional?
I honestly need to know because I no longer can comprehend how anyone can actually be offended at anything that anyone else writes.
You're arguing with a bot, likely, not a real boy.
The title claims Bill Gates will make $200 Billion dollars profit. This is not true if the clip is shown in context. He was talking about the global impact of what he does. He claim his efforts have produced or will produce $200 billion.
I have nothing nice to say about Bill Gates and I know little of what he has done after Microsoft, what else do I need to know?
The reason I posted was because I hate the human tendency to believe things because they align with their opinion but are false, spread it and make everyone that shares their overall view look stupid or lazy at the least. This works for people in general and is one of the current weapons of choice being used against people on both sides including the no side people. In short, weaponized psychology to divide. I have no idea how to properly resist it in a meaningful way so from time to time I will call it out.
I like your new perspective but just because the left has abused the term "offended" does not mean being offended goes away or is reduced in any way. Now there are limits to what is offensive and what isn't as well as when to say or do something. Here, I have done both. Mostly because it is easy. Try doing this on any news network site. It's like throwing stones at the moon.
Well, I hope I answered your questions.
It does actually. I appreciate it.
