Imagine if parent's handled active shooter situations? There are not doors strong enough to have kept some of them out. Shooters might reconsider if they actually had to face the parent's wrath.

Thanks for showing you care by taking the time to comment. And for creating a paradox, because now if the reader is to live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats", they will be following your directive, and caring for what you think, and thusly not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" Their only option otherwise is to not live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" as their individual expression, yet that too would be not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats". Perhaps they will need to return for more advice on living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats".

I mean, as long as the info is upfront, why does it matter? They are not censoring the Internet, they are censoring their own little chunk of it. That's cool with me, anyway. I myself am not the echo chamber type, but I do sometimes prefer a more civil platform, and in human society that inevitably requires some uniformity or commonality.

First visualization: me shaking my head in near disbelief.

Second visualization: me realizing this is some twit on social media and no longer caring.

Third visualization: me considering the psychology in my head and laughing. Albeit uncomfortably.

Go be white and right, bro. Have the day you deserve.

Thank you for again telling me the situation. It is important that you elucidate on the weakness of my cognitive skills, to draw contrast to your own intellectual superiority. Perhaps you feel this is a conversation to be "won", or that you in some way are "holding ground". That is possibly your POV, though of course, I have no way to be sure.

What I do know is that having our opinions or thoughts called into question can psychologically put us on the defensive, feeling attacked. Identity-Protective Cognition hardens our stance, and we become unwilling to concede at all. Because existentially, it feels like a danger. It feels bad.

So what I will do is concede that we may both have succumb to such, as is cognitively standard, and quite prevalent in today's digital, social media filled society. I certainly become protective and defensive in situations involving my ethnic group. And I can easily see how one could become so in regards to perceiving someone taking your words out of context or over-inflating their impact.

There is a difference between being unintentionally insensitive and being racist or hateful. I do feel, personally, there may have been some unintentional insensitivity in the comment, but I do not think you are hateful of Jews. And please realize, I am telling you how it reads to me. Perhaps it reads differently to you; I do not have your contexting within my brain. But, you also do not have mine, and this is where the unintentional comes in.

Regardless, you are correct that this isn't productive. I am sure you are not a specifically bad person, and realize this was just a little Internet interaction. Words rarely ever have meaning standing alone. We do not share each other's perspectives, but likely are not really in conflict at all.

Thank you for again further explaining to me how incorrect I am to assume antisemitism. I should have deferred cognition to someone who clearly knows a lot of Jews, and realized you would certainly know more about it than I. I'm glad you are confident what you have read and stated is "funny as fuck." No point wasting time someone like me, who just gets his jimmies rustled over something so trivial.
From now on I know to trust G***m, not question those who are clearly better informed and more positioned to make determinations on what is or isn't offensive to me or my "easy to get their jimmies rustled" people.

Bro. You're using your Jewish friend to explain to me how this isn't antisemitism? Do you even read what you write before you hit send?

Well, I appreciate you informing my ignorant self as to what antisemitism is and isn't. I should not have presumed to know about such things, and appreciate you setting me straight on it. I, and others related to me, should really learn to be less sensitive to such things. It is just humor, after all.
