I'm saddened that if I don't conform and echo back the same ideology/thoughts then I'm a "creep." It kinda hurts my feeling.

If someone thinks you're a creep for having your own opinion, that says more about them than it does about you.

Good find! that at least makes a little more sense why someone from out of the bay area created an account here.

Not that locality should be a requirement. Most of us old-schoolers are scattered all over, and this is one of the better and more welcoming MC communities on the web, so as long as everyone's cool, everyone's cool.

I still think it's a dupe

If you do some googling, the account appears to link to a genuine human with a public-facing business. OK it's technically a dupe of a lapsed barf account, but I no longer believe YogaJeni is a bot nor a Romanian troll.

If you followed my link on his defense in court, you'll see that he himself admits that anything he says shouldn't be taken seriously.

It was part of a defense against a slander suit. A defense that other prominent opinion show hosts have used on both sides, so characterizing it the way you are I don't think is fair.

Yes, he engages in hyperbole frequently, but OTOH does cover some things that other gloss over, for example he was among the very few last year that covered the angle that Covid may well have escaped from the Wuhan virology lab -- something that the MSM is just now grudgingly admitting may actually be the case.

Anyways, I don't disagree with a lot of what you have to say in the KS, but this is one of those times. :ride

Not really. See the last part where YJ equates someone expressing their opinion on sources to somehow "want to make that decision for everyone". That's the difference.

It's parsing, yeah...but a bit nit picky on the words she used. IMO.

think one of the quickest routes to a lifetime of grinding poverty is still to become a young single mother ... so the homelessness industry has that going for us.

No one has it harder in this country than single mothers, IMO. Some of them do a great job raising their kids. With considerable help from her grandmother, one even managed to raise one of the richest men in America from the ghetto's of America.

Agree. +1. It's hard sometimes not to dig, but it doesn't help much.

The reality is, I have learned some wildly different versions of the same histories once I started listening to the people who were colonized, instead of just learning history from the people who did the colonizing.

Almost 3/4 of my entire HS senior year in history, we covered Native American history in America, since well before white men arrived. My teacher had just graduated with a doctorate in Native American history (South America, etc). It was an amazing experience.

He was white....and was fantastic.

In my Junior year in high school I took part in an experimental class structure where it was a combined course of history and literature. It was taught by two teachers (both white females) but the intent was to show the connection between the historical events at the time and they ways people wrote about it. Oh and the history textbook was Zinn's The People's History of the United States.

I'm pretty sure that course changed me forever.

I am sorry, I didn't realize using someones words within context of the post is "nit picking". Well I guess it's better than white washing someones post by excluding key parts of it. IMO
 
Imagine complaining about feeling creeped out by someone trying to straight faced gaslight you with CRT newspeak only to come back to a witch hunt where the same creeps are boasting that they google searched you, [maybe] found your job and you pass their smell test!!!
I'm not a "romanian troll"? WTH is even that? And the moderator chimes in to point out that my behavior is weird!?! What?!

You have not demonstrated to anyone that someone is "gaslighting" you. Which clearly don't know the definition of:

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories.

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but you're on the internet. Everything you post here is public and connected to everything else you do on the internet.

Feel free to google me any time. I'm a very public personality and post accordingly for the properties I'm connected to.

I don't know anything about you. I am incapable of gaslighting you.

I don't care that you exist, weirdo! I don't creep on people I disagree with on the internet. Why do you say it as if it is normal? And that last part sure sounds like a veiled threat.

Its not a threat. I'd be totally happy for someone to connect my online business to my posts here.

Your profile seems to support of your online business so I don't know why you're upset that I found it.
