You're a better man than I am. Yes, I'm unwilling to be around those who deny the suffering of my people, the history of my country, millennia of bloody conquests, all in the name of some new found, new age concepts or equity or equality or democracy. It depresses me to be around the people who deny my suffering. I don't want to do neighborhood wine and cheese weather chat when I know he fundamentally disagrees with my right to exist or his book teaches him to wipe out my people. It is difficult for me to go to my church, synagogue, or temple, learn about burnt babies, and then go a block party and talk about Taylor Swift, cuz I sure as hell cant talk about anything else.

There are two options in life (1) dwelling on all the past mistakes, injustices, and grievances or (2) living your life (which only goes on for a limited amount of time) here on earth. I choose (2). People have way too much time to dwell on things that don't matter. This is 2024 in the United States. No one is wiping out anyone.
