Well I am taking what you are saying as an implied superior moral position. That engaging with anyone and everyone is ethically or morally superior to not. It follows that one who does not consent to that standard is somehow “doing it wrong”. It’s like some internalized guilt over exercising your own agency to ignore or block people. Wild.
So… You’ve just made a ton of assumptions about me and then left a comment based on those assumptions.
I don’t think I am inherently above others because I don’t block people.
I do think that blocking out everyone you don’t agree with entirely is unhealthy and leads to other problems such as an echo chamber, but you are absolutely right that they can do whatever they want.
I urge people to talk to people they don’t necessarily get along with whenever possible. It’s the only way to gain new perspectives and maybe look at things in a way you otherwise might not have.
If you only ever interact with people who all agree with you on everything anyways what does that get you? I’m not saying you have to agree withï other people, but it’s good to know what other perspectives people have. It just allows you to stay more well rounded and informed at all times I think.
Ignore/block whoever you want. Obviously for mental health or sanity sake you do what you have to do. I have no issues with blocking people who are harassing me or anything like that, but I don’t just instantly block people when they say something I disagree with.
Hope that helps clarity my position on the whole instantly blocking mentality that a lot of people have these days.
I have repeatedly stated on multiple occasions how much of a not Nazi I am
“I have Jewish friends”
Dude this is pretty close to parody and I will need to make this part of a standup routine.
Even when I accidentally got mistaken as KKK for Halloween (I was in a white lab suit with an 🏖️ corp badge but took my hood off), I did not have to profess with words. I simply stripped the costume immediately off with shameful realization. My actual Jewish friend laughed at me.
Like I agree this isn’t happening in a vacuum, the context is you defending a guy doing a Nazi salute. People not subjecting themselves to whatever brain rot brought you to that conclusion is not “living in a bubble”, it’s having a healthy relationship with reality.
… You wore a costume that someone else accidentally mistook you for the kkk so instead of explaining the costume you just took off your costume in “shameful realization”.
That is actually hella embarrassing for you. Not because you got mistaken for a kkk member that happens all the time with any costume that is primarily white robes (usually it’s ghosts tho), but the fact that you took it off out of shame rather than simply explaining it or just not giving a shit is wild to me. I would never in a million years let what someone else thinks about me control what I do.
My “I have Jewish friends” comment was poking fun at how fucking ridiculous you sound. I should have put a /s so your clown ass could catch the joke I was making. That one is on me for assuming you had at least a few brain cells accidentally bouncing around upstairs.
Only one of us has a healthy grasp on reality and I am sorry to break it to you, but it ain’t you man.
Anyways I am over this whole conversation with you. It’s become abundantly clear to me that you are set in your ways and you see nothing wrong with it so I’m not gonna waste any more energy trying to have any sort of meaningful dialogue.

As we say on the Internet, every accusation is a confession. At least you understand there’s a hueristic to identifying people not worth conversing with, and for most of us defending Nazi stuff is that heuristic.
I think that is an interesting view on consent, and I am glad to not share it.
I’m not really sure how my not blocking of people I disagree with has anything to do with consent.
Please elaborate.

Not having to talk to Nazis doesn’t mean you’re in an echo chamber. I hope that clears up the misunderstanding here.
It is a problem when you label everyone that disagrees with you as a Nazi.
I have repeatedly stated on multiple occasions how much of a not Nazi I am but many people here have already labeled me as such.
You want me to get a notary to verify signed statements from all my minority and Jewish friends about how much of not a Nazi I am?
Like I understand what you’re saying when taken as a statement in a vacuum, but that’s not really accurate to what’s happened here.
