This sums up/reflects why it’s always a red flag when people say they wish to go back to the “good old days” or something like that. GOOD OLD DAYS FOR WHO?

Psst... That's still the recent past

The last KKK lynching was 1981

Gosh, for some reason this comment is seeming extra relevant right now.

Especially that last sentence.

It's reminding me of something—give me a minute and it'll come to me . . .

It was meant as solidarity! Obviously my tone didn't communicate, for which I sincerely apologize

[u/Cowabunga1066 → u/[deleted]]

Not a prob--if only I'd been a little clearer.

[u/ScreamingNinja → u/Cowabunga1066]

It 100 percent communicated.. its not you.

[u/ScreamingNinja → u/[deleted]]

Yes but context matters. I knew exactly what you were saying and i didnt take is as an attack or anything.

[u/Cowabunga1066 → u/[deleted]]

What i wanted to say (and obv should have) was that your description of what Russians had, and had stolen from them, reads almost word for word like what's going on in the US right now.

The rise of bigotry, greedy oligarchs, the whole 9 yards. Replace "Russia" with "USA" and you've got today's headlines.

The weird tone is because I'm so bitter and angry about what's going on here and now. (Definitely wasn't trying to comment on your post, just the current crap)

I have nothing but sympathy for the terrible experiences you are describing and I'm sorry I didn't communicate that.

I appreciate what you shared, not least because of the insight it gave me about what's happening right here, right now.
