    Did you just… Agree with me? But somehow were unable to realize it?

    Indifference won.

      Naw, it’s just the healthiest way I’ve found to approach people online. Lead with earnestness and a desire to understand, don’t sweat it when people shut you out - helps with finding the good folks in a hostile world. If you’re so truly indifferent, why respond in the first place?

        Because indifference is a word that doesn’t stand on its own, it’s a noun that requires another noun to be relevant in a different context. It’s not my job to teach you English language in the first place so I’m not sure what’s so perplexing to you, but it’s literally not my problem if you thought that indifference implies indifference to other people because those are two different things, believe me or not, there are many things you can be indifferent to and the fact I have to explain this to you makes it look like you never spoke to another human in real life before.

        Like seriously, you cannot fathom talking to someone, and being so indifferent to other person’s political views that you never bring it up? You can’t be indifferent to what food they like when you aren’t going to go eat food together? You couldn’t possibly care less about what books they like if you can’t even read?

        You really need the “beautiful” word “tolerance” for all of this to mentally masturbate yourself instead about every topic that you couldn’t give a fuck about to feel better about yourself instead?

          I get on with a lot of people irl, across the political spectrum. I don’t tend to bring up politics unless it’s already being discussed. Unfortunately, my existence is somewhat political so it gets brought up for me. I wish it wasn’t like that, but I do have to deal with people who would rather I don’t exist and that is not something I can be indifferent toward. The only thing I ask for when I ask for tolerance, is the benefit of the doubt. It’s not a way to feel better about myself, it’s self-preservation.

          I don’t yet understand why you’re so pissed off, why you assume so much about someone over the internet you’ve never met, or why you talk like you’re forced to respond to me. With respect - you’re interesting.

                  I’m just calling it how I see it. I don’t know you, but these don’t strike me as the words of someone at peace, and if you’re unaware of that it’s better you hear it from someone.

                    You will see it however you want to see it even when someone on internet will tell you something else than whatever you see and it’s not my problem.
