I’m not making excuses, I have first experience with natural disasters wiping out homes & the struggle families face on where to rebuild.
The fact that you can not fathom that someone might have roots, generations worth, put down in a community is absurd. You’re being flat out obtuse.
If you seriously think people have the ability to just relocate after losing everything then I can no longer help you.
You have judged someone who has lost everything twice. The only excuse I’m hearing is your excuse for not caring.
Take care.
There it is. This is why you made it personal. You're projecting your personal trauma onto others.
No partner, this conversation with me & you? This is not personal. You're just an angry little speed bump, hatefully wishing ill on complete & total strangers, slowing up my scroll.
My context with this content is personal, but my conversation with you isn’t. You have proven not be worth any personal investment.
I do know people who have been impacted by natural disasters, but even if I didn’t, I would have the common fucking decency not wish your brand of judgement on anyone else.
You keep on hating everyone out there pal. Just keep on blaming others for shit they can’t change & spreading your rotgut foulness wherever you go!
Me? Im gonna go be a decent human.
It was a terrible mistake for me to have become involved with someone so unstable, and I very much regret it. It is hard to know when a good faith conversation will set someone off, and I walked into that here. You need to heal from your traumas. Those are not my fault, and are clouding your perception of the world.
We're done. I regret encountering you, but will block you now so that I cannot happen again.
Hey bud, i see you downvoting me. What’s the matter? Blaming people for their misfortune didn’t help you feel better?
Take breath, there will be another natural disaster tomorrow & you can feel superior to others when you’re feeling a bit better.
I thought you were being a scootch unfair with this response, but I was very wrong.
I really try to be impersonal but may have pushed a bit hard. A review of their post history indicates professional level trolling.
Yeah, my instincts are just bad lol
HEY CHECK IT OUT!!! There’s been a 6.9 earthquake in the Philippines! You can blame some more victims!!!!
If you get there quick, you can be the first comment on the post!!
Go pal! It’s your favorite pastime!! Victim Blaming!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!
Unstable? I’m not the one wishing ill on strangers. No I’ve never said it was your fault, I just said it wasn’t the victims fault.
I’m not the one blaming victims of natural disasters. You are.
And you do it from a distance, over the internet…
This one could be fun. This was teenager who was found a pond!
Whose fault is it this time? The teenager? The parents? The pond?
I’m dying to know who you’ve deemed worthy of fault for this one.
