That’s where you are dead wrong. I belong. My traditions are the local traditions. No if. No conditions.
If you don’t like it, try and do something about it.
That’s not what you said back there. But I welcome you trying to walk back your drivel.
Well if your traditions are the local traditions there is no issue here right? And there will always be conditions, that's not for you to decide but the society you life in.
If you don't like to conform have fun living in the woods without any of societies benefits.
Society is a two-way street, for everyone.
Listen man, it’s really simple. In a thread about rising anti-immigrant politicians you explicitly tied my right to exist in my own country to me conforming to nativist norms. That is a majorly fucked up thing to say.
There are two cases here. If you don’t mean it, you are free to apologize. If you do mean it, own it.
This “everyone lives in a society” stuff is just weak mealy mouthed equivocation.
You know what is fucked up? Believing yourself too good to confirm to "nativist norms". What the hell is even that? What do you even mean with your "own country" if you are not willing to conform to their way of life?
Being a citizen somewhere does not just mean living there. It means following the local customs and adhering to them.
I mean, "every one lives in a society" is pretty clear cut. I seriously don't get what's hard about respecting the culture you want to live in.
More equivocation.
A racist and a coward. Not exactly a surprise.
Pfft, that is not something I need to accept from a smooth brain that isn't even willing to entertain the idea of being wrong.
Your cowardice exists in how you think everyone needs to automatically accept you for who you are while stomping all over the norms others find important.
