    a country’s ruling class is disenfranchising a ethnic group in every way possible for social, political & financial means.

      Again… figured that’s what you were going to say. So how are different from the people you’re referring to in your original comment? You use a buzz word like “disenfranchising” instead of persecute or suppress which could ultimately be perceived as turning a blind eye to the issues. So how are you different?

        i’m no different and we’re all the same where it matters.

        a tiny portion of us are lucky to have more wealth and education; but we’re all human beings with the same foibles and blind spots. those lucky ones sometimes decide that their own desires outweigh others rights and they use their wealth to work with other like minded individuals and we end up w genocides as a result; among other things.

            i wish i were. your line of questioning is making me doubt that you’re engaging in good faith.

              I haven’t argued with you once about your ideologies. Nor have I criticized your ideologies. What I am trying to understand is the how and the why.

                and i’m responding to you in the hopes that you are engaging in good faith; i would have ignored you otherwise.

                your approach so far is the same as the people who engage in bad faith and i’m giving you that feedback.

                  Do what makes you feel comfortable. I’ve learned that there is no real point in arguing with people on the internet. No one’s perspectives are going to change and it eventually devolves into personal attacks and insults. I’m very selective of where and to who I share my views and ideologies with

                    agreed and likewise here; however i engage sometimes because i think it’ll help me challenge my views.
