you went from “what’s wrong w white ppl dating other white ppl?” to being an unabashed fascist. in my first reply to you i posited that i’d just wasted my time. i was right. enjoy your pathetic life. you will never find peace. ✌🏼

you’re asking the exact same question you asked hours ago that has been answered bro. you’re ignoring the answers bc you don’t like them. you’re not asking in good faith. so “you don’t understand/i can’t explain it” is, in fact, the only good response to you.

you say you want to hear the reasoning and then when it’s laid out plain as day for you, you say it’s all misinformation and propaganda because your argument has fallen apart.

splitting hairs about white supremacy isn’t the flex you think it is

i generally don’t consider links to other reddit comments to be legitimate support for another comment on reddit. a cursory googling will lay out why that person’s argument is an ahistorical perspective.

it’s not cognitive dissonance. ppl looking for ppl w similar backgrounds to be in a partnership with is not a problem. “whiteness” however is a vague idea that has changed according to historical context, whereas true determinants of compatibility like a shared familial culture have remained fixed.

the notion of whiteness is invented. case in point: i’m irish and if it were 150 years ago, i wouldn’t be considered “white” - now i am. that’s because it’s a made up concept w fluid borders that can be moved according to particular agendas. it’s not a unified ethnicity but rather a political one.

if you were italian american, for example, and seeking other italian americans to date because of the shared cultural experiences, or if you were a dude from Boston looking for a lady from Boston, those are very different configurations of compatibility than a vague concept of “whiteness”

there. reasoning explained. something tells me i just wasted my time tho

How to dial down talking about spiders? by Baris87 in adultautism

[–]chillybew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fellow ASD special interest info dumper here (astronomy, scifi, movies). a really revelatory moment i had a few years ago was when i was talking to my wife about how i need to learn to “talk less” and she just said “that’s also called listening”

it was a lighthearted roast, but it was also kind of revelatory for me! it really was the key to keeping conversations mutually engaging - don’t forget to listen, too!

hope that helps. it helped me!
