'k check it.

Step 1. "Admitting this shit is happening, it's real, and needs to be stopped." Seems to me that the entire sphere of media right now is pure unadulterated outrage. Your response?

    There are clearly a very very very large number of people that have not gotten here.

Step 2. "actions against the construct.

    this is where you claim to stand based on your post.

So the entire media universe is outraged, yet you see denial. I point out that you're being sincerely engaged and you MUTHERFUCKING QUESTION MY SINCERITY.

And then proceed to lecture me.

And then proceed to argue that "actions against the construct" need to take part in "actions against the construct."

Listen.

I'm mad. You're mad. We're all mad. But you're mad at ME. You're taking it out on ME. I'm asking "so what do you actually want to have happen and your answer is "I want to lecture you, avoid your questions, pillory you and hold you accountable" despite the fact that I walked into this pointing out that shitting on people asking questions helps nothing.

Check it. we're on the same side. Yet me saying "we're on the same side" just gives you more license to shit down my neck.

Your name is green to me so I know you don't hold me in utter contempt. yet your actions? your speech? Your syntax? holds me in utter contempt.

If you want to know why this argument is often frustrating, it's right above: here we are, attempting solidarity, and here you are, shitting all over it.
