I am saving my queer daughter’s life.

I suppose you would rather me stick around and have her marched into a camp?

Do you have any kids? Would you sacrifice children for your cause?

I didn’t say that. I was pointing out the privilege of your statement when you offer that as a solution to this issue.

You can use the idea that anyone pointing it out is some villain who would have your family hurt but that’s not reality. It’s just an emotional response to protect your mindset. That’s fine. Don’t treat me poorly because of it though. You already got more privileges than the queer people left behind who may be in what you fantasize and have nightmares of.

It’s not a sacrifice if we can’t leave. It’s just reality. Something you have a privilege to alter to ignore.

This is what you said:

It allows you to claim you aren’t involved because you stay uninvolved but it’s not the same as being helpful or even being offerable advice to anyone else other than a percentage so small it rounds down to zero.

As if that was why I left.

I never even claimed I wasn’t involved, so it’s just a lie anyway. For one thing, my wife is still in the U.S. and, since she’s a librarian, she’s facing the possibility of prison. Meanwhile, my meager savings are running out and I don’t have a job.

So maybe I don’t have this amazing privilege like you seem to think.

You have said that you are out the mess through the system, not entirely true, but through a privilege of the system. I have seen your other comments around telling people that there is no more action that can be taken and that this was the only choice but for most people the ONLY choice IS to stay.
Just because it’s not working out for you doesn’t mean it wasn’t a privilege. The amount of people that could walk that path that you are taking is again very small.

I’m sorry that it’s not working out like you hoped but going around telling people the only way out is apathetic leaving to another country and then to now feel bad for you for. I can only offer my general empathy for dealing with struggles but I have no other for you. Not while you still seem to admonish everyone else without the same privilege you don’t recognize.

That is utter horse shit. I never said or even implied such a thing. That is a disgusting lie.

I keep saying this to people- I know I’m stupid, I know I’m worth everyone’s contempt, there’s all kinds of horrible things you could say about me that are true… so why do you and others make up lies?

Talk about how shitty of a parent I am by failing my daughter. Talk about how everything I do is worthless. Talk about how I will never accomplish anything anyone will admire or be proud of. All of those things are 100% true.

But don’t say that I am going around telling people the only way out is to be apathetic and to leave the country because I never said that.

Voters wanted a fascist dictator. That is clear. And now they will pay for it because the other option wasn’t perfect enough. 1

The time to have done something about it was in November. But feel free to try. 2

I’m not going through your post history to find more but you do have a history of talking down to others and treating the rest of the nation like it’s owed this when it could just be a travesty for a lot of people who also didn’t want this to happen. It doesn’t comfort everyone to relinquish control and you just recently told someone else the time to do anything was in November and your apology was, lacking an apology. It’s very self defeating, and worse it’s socially accepting defeat for the rest of us.

Also, wow. Honestly don’t come at me while talking yourself down like that. It’s miserable and not in a way that inspires empathy either. Your standards may be way to high. I’ve had people tell me I’m the kindest person ever and they look up to me for bringing over fresh baked bread and some veggies from the garden. Nothing done is worthless especially if it’s done with others in mind.

You have your own issues that I don’t want to be dragged into, and it’s clear that continuing will either make me complicit in making your mood worse or worse be a beacon for it and there is so little than can be done over the Internet for either.

Go find a cool stick and give it a swing. Maybe give someone a hug too.

First of all, I very clearly said “feel free to try” there, meaning that I said the opposite of what you claimed.

Secondly, if you’re going to talk to a worthless piece of shit like me, expect to hear worthless things said.

Thirdly, who would want to hug me? Who would want me to touch them? My daughter is gong to end up in a camp because I failed and my wife will end up in prison because I failed and you think someone would want to touch me?
