Modern dilemma, what many people consider “truth” is really their own personal truth, which is really just opinion. Sad really. It is self defeating, narrow and doesn’t consider there are 2 sides to a conversation, or an argument and that others may be correct or more correct, using actual science, statistics and data. They refuse to understand see the gray of debate and knowledge gathering. They like the simplistic black and white of their opinion.

They love to verbally spar and I love to verbally spar.

I knowingly talk out of both sides of my mouth, understanding there is something known as discrimination or privilege, there is something know as institutionalism and prejudice, there is some about the corruption of power and that when put into a “circumstance”, any one of us is capable of almost anything. (that is my opinion of course, unless you use my life as fact)
