Instead of providing data, facts or arguments you just throw labels like “left”, use buzzwords like “victim card” and demanding “explanations” that you won’t even consider or think about. If you really believe that you are “calm, cool and collected” you are deluding yourself. You haven’t provided the data that you demand. In fact, your initial rant sounded really sensitive and emotional. You are not rational or logical, sorry. If you were, you would realize that the words “oppressor”, “victim” and “power” have a meaning depending on context and that when people use (or abuse) them to mean the opposite of their original meaning, their meaning is lost. It is quite a simple concept. So if you are so “rational” you would already understand that and how your long rant about unrelated things just proves her original point. It is quite simple, but I get why you might want to intentionally miss the point to avoid that your feelings get hurt.

Your problem is that you have already made your mind even before reading or thinking about what is said. You don’t want to debate, you want to make the “progressives” to shut up or change their minds. But since they come from different premises and priorities, they would never agree. For example, if you believe that democracy is important and the president should be the one who won the election, then, saying that

“Oh, and that laughable “insurrection” on Jan 6… that was one day….”

is basically being anti democratic, anti american and trivializing what from the rest of the world was seen as an attempt at a coup. That you want to minimize it as “just one day” shows how biased you are.

Not just that, but your complains about “antifa” which in fact is people complaining about several murderers of black people, well, let me tell you that they reacted quite calm, cool and collected” considering the level of aggression. From an European perspective it is abhorrent. Yes, even racist people in europe think that black people being murdered like that is wrong.

But you want to pretend that they complaining were wrong, because if you don’t believe that, then you would be the one who has been abusive and wrong. Well, I’ve bad news, when you complain about black people peacefully protesting about murderers, you are indeed proving how racist you are. I can’t even imagine what would happened if it was a white men the one being murdered like that. Oh, wait, there was charleston and there wasn’t even a murder.

Just one question, have you tried to use google to search about violence against black people? Or you just repeat whatever talking point you hear in fox or breitbart? I mean, the information is there. Now think, if those things were done to white men, to people you care about, what would you do? Sorry, but alternate facts are just lies and you haven’t offered a single fact to support your point of view.
