    You’d be surprised how some of those irredeemable people can, in fact be reasoned with, and even can change their views.

    I remember the story of a black man befriending a bunch of klansmen and making them leave the organization.

        Which is way more respectable than laughing about it behing internet anonymity.

          sure, same I feel about a genuine priest dedicated to serving people, i have the utmost respect for them

          but you expecting people to give up their lives to rehabilitate shit birds is pretty lmao

          and unless you yourself are doing so, it’s also hypocritical

          and i assure you i tell these people to their face in real life, many seem so confused

          expecting anyone to dox themselves to full internet to prove a point is crazy naive and even more lmao

            If it works, it is worth it.

            and unless you yourself are doing so, it’s also hypocritical

            I volunteers for other causes (helping elders, sometimes migrants, to learn to use computers, as well as occasionally helping my dad who volunteers at the red cross). Everyone got a way they can help others, but I doubt a klansman would listen to someone like me, despite being a white male.

            expecting anyone to dox themselves to full internet to prove a point is crazy naive and even more lmao

            I never expected that. I just said that laughing at someone contribution to society is at best petty.

              i volunteer as well but it takes a special type to put up with people like this, i know because i live in a state around them

              unless you are literally dealing with this directly i don’t really care to hear some hollier than though bullshit

              dealing with racist, sexist, bigoted fucks daily is exhausting

              imagine defending their behavior even indirectly

                And where am I defending their behavior? I just told they can change, and are not unredeemable. Not that their bigotry is ok.

                  in multiple places in this thread lol

                  and in the last 3 replies writing this imaginary narrative of salvation when you yourself are not even involved with it

                  go do it yourself, show me an example of you directly changing some bigots mind

                  until you’ve done this exact thing i’m not interested in your opinions and what ifs
