I really had to wonder a) how stupid you think I am and b) how stupid you might be.
I have not called you stupid once, or been uncivil with you while explaining my point of view, yet you continue to be snippy with me. I can peel the flesh off a dozer operator with my word choices, and have done so in the past, but it doesn’t help with discussion and only serves to cause the person you’re talking to to dig their heels in further.
In this regard, I’m done talking about this topic, but I wanted to say that I get your points about people shooting down this topic. I also agree with you that we need to SUBSTANTIALLY re-evaluate our societal priorities, and not take a capitalist view on just about everything.
I don’t have the tools or the knowledge to make a societal change like this, in a world of propaganda, so I’m sticking in my lane and talking about what I do know and the roadblocks that stop a solar punk society from happening. I’m technically strong, but I really suck on the social side, other than knowing that engagement must happen.
Saying it feels like you’re insulting me or otherwise talking down is not the same as saying you did use a specific word. You aren’t the victim here and I’m not saying that I am but if you react like that to someone giving you feedback well, yea, maybe it’s best this discussion is ended.
And yes, for your last bit thank you for coming to that understanding, it is appreciated to hear.
