It's hard for me to understand where you're coming from without knowing more about you as a person.

You haven't had any formal education (I think you've stated that before) but what do you do for work? How do your co-workers and social circle react to your alternative, controversial views? Imo, you can't possibly be going around expressing all these views in public and reacting to opposing views the same way you do here, so do you change who you are off the internet and in real life?

I wanted to understand what people would say about my understanding, and no I can't just walk around at work talking about stuff like this.

How do they react or view me? Do you really want the answer filtered through my view? Do you trust the answer filtered through your own view? I don't trust any filters.

All I can say concretely is anyone who knows me would laugh at the thought that I am racist or prejudice....whats more correct to say is people think that I am weird I see us as such equals.

I don't think murders are bad people, I think its just as much mine and your fault they killed. You may not understand that, but its how my brain works. People calling me racist and prejudice is absolutely silly and emotional.

Just to be clear though, I'm not a saint, and I did grow up in this world. I was subjected to the same incorrect conditioning. But none of my roots are prejudicial.

What I'm suggesting is for the most part, somehow everyone has me labeled completely backwards.....

Also we can be done here and side tangenting to here to emotional intelligence.

You can also say that people don't know the real you though. But cool. Move on to your next thread.

No no, to be clear I admit, they do not know the real me. Most of them don't for sure anyways.

But we never really actually know each other, we see each other through our own filters and conditioning. And others project their own image and conditioning at us. So we have images of ourselves dealing with images that other people project ..and that isn't a true relationship. But we are taught it is.

A Judo man will say 'its not the judo way'
A wrestler would say 'that not the wrestling way'
A boxing would say 'thats not how you do it'

But its a fight. There is no way.

Anyways this thread can continue, just part of the movement has advanced on. Maybe more people will watch the video and comment more.
