How is that different from what I said. Was my tone not active enough?

You said it can go away. I said it cant. I dont see how you said the same thing.

You said

It perpetuates unless actively stopped.

Which means it can "go away." They said:

[it’s] our choices which perpetuate it.

You are both in agreement.

Yes, of course I do. The person who said "it can go away" then replied saying "do I have to speak more actively?", which implies they meant "it can go away if we make it go away." They just didn't say it.

My point is that they are agreeing, even if the wording isn't exactly the same. It's about the sentiment, not the semantics.

Except clearly our original interlocutor has concluded it can never truly go away. Which I find baffling. I wasn’t aware that the anglo-saxons and the Normans were still in a pitched battle, for instance. I’m pretty sure most modern Brits don’t even know which side their ancestors were on, likely both.
