This response is so single-dimensional that I couldn't have done a better job at exposing the extremity of your position than you've done yourself. It is also so predictable and unimaginative that it could have been written by a bot. Is there a textbook with these platitudes?
The rhetoric bundle is also impressive. First, denial. "Are we the baddies? No, it cannot be!". Realizing that you are complicit in suffering of others is unpleasant, isn't it? A non-constructive dismissal with a sprinkle of insult, a lot of projection plus canonical victim-blaming with a hint of ad-hominem. All in one bottle - what a bouquet! "Fuck you - I've got mine" - a cherry on top. "You harmed yourself by not being able to cope" - what is it, standup comedy? I suspect it as dead serious as people claiming "Ukrainians are bombing themselves". Because! We! Are! Good! We! Are! Caring! - how dare you to suggest that we may be harming you! How dare you!
You see, two can play this game!
I see, as time and again, that the original engagement was a mistake. The division is now complete, the arguments are futile, the heels are dug in and nothing could sway anyone. As a bear of very little brain, further arguments in the demonstrated spirit will only make me slip further towards the darkness of losing the remains of faith in humanity. Today was a better-ish day, so I won't make this mistake, if only for the sake of staying sane.
I can only add my "Q.E.D." under your response. Hopefully some people visiting this dark corner of HN will be able to see for themselves.
I am certainly don't need your pity, and neither my family. We'll find a way, despite the world efforts to sink us, enthusiastically supported by you. However, on the eve of Good Friday I may extend my forgiveness to you. God bless!
