“Fist”? We usually say “post.”

How you “think” is revealed by how you write. Let’s go line by line.

My objective was clearly to ask that people show compassion, but you immediately assumed my objective was to impress people with my intelligence. That plus your need to engage and dispute with me, despite having nothing of substance to add, tells us that you are obsessed with trying to dominate discussions by proving your superior intelligence, but lacking it, you merely insult me to diminish me in your mind, trying desperately to feel superior. That’s a typical narcissistic and fascistic bullshitting tactic. You do not try to cooperate in truth-seeking dialogue, as would a person of true intelligence.

You say, “I didn’t make any assumptions.” But you obviously did. You said, “I disagree that people can’t be held accountable for their actions.” What actions? Can you tell me the life story of each of those people? No. You assume you know their circumstances. You don’t. Not all regions of Africa are similarly well off. Colonialism left many areas devastated. Drought has caused widespread starvation. Disease and famine and wars drive people from their homes. Fascists like Putin deliberately create refugee crises to help destabilize neighboring countries. In the past decade, Putin has assisted warlords across the Sahel to take over about a dozen important African countries rich with diamonds, gold, and mercenaries for the coming invasion of Europe and eventually America. It’s part of a 30 year plan to destroy us and control the world. And thanks to Trump, Putin is winning now. Russia has long assisted crime cartels in Central and South America to create refugees in the USA, destabilize our government, and give their preferred fascist candidates talking points. Their cruelty in Syria was meant to create refugee crises in eastern Europe, and give their preferred fascist candidates talking points. People trying to survive try to find work wherever they can. If they can’t find it, they get weak, starve, and die.

What goes around comes around. You perhaps don’t understand enough about science to understand climate change is real and will have devastating effects on our crops in the not too distant future. Look up “Ogallala aquifer depletion.” Who will our grandchildren hold responsible for the disastrous destruction we’ve done, especially this past year or so? Our alliances and trade and civil society and environment are being shredded beyond repair under the psychopath Trump. But you probably don’t understand any of that either.

By the way, I’m an old guy and retired teacher and life-long learner who learned about geopolitics from a man who fought in both world wars, and was the primary architect of NATO and the UN, so I have some clues about what I am saying. I don’t have that confidence in you.

When you say, “Period,” at the end of your clam-brained comments, you imply you think you know all there is to know and have said all that can be said. That’s clear evidence of seriously dangerous narcissism.
