    I actually wrote a very long reply to this, but then I checked your comment history, and I thought I’d be more supportive.

    Look, one day, everything is going to change. Maybe not all in one day but it’ll be quick. Something will happen, and you’ll have to re-evaluate the way you look at the world. When that happens, take three deep breaths. Hold them. Eventually you’ll pass out, and you’ll be doing everyone around you a favor by not talking for however long you are unconscious for. Hopefully you’ll drop your phone and it’ll break, and you can take a break from social media, too.

        Ahh yes, I believe the old saying goes something like, “Always take the moral high ground, no matter how many people you have to step on to get there.”

          Pretty much yes? If you were in Nazi Germany you’d have to step on a lot of complacent liberals to stay morally conscious. Same thing going on here, with you.

              The comparison is apt due to the ongoing genocide. He is the one saying that a stance against genocide is some sort of unwanted moral high ground. Not sure how being committed to morality is a bad thing.
