Remember what you said about listening? I'm so glad to find how sincere you were being with that, because from where I'm sitting, it looks like the only thing you're listening to is the sound of your own voice. I guess no one ever taught you that brevity is the source of wit.

But, you see, all those multitude of bullshit words you just typed are basically meaningless, since they're hinging on a massive misreading of what I said. No one mentioned quitting until you brought it up.

What I did say is that trying to change the system from within is an idiotic waste of time. And I'm not saying that as someone lacking experience with it, as you may have been inclined to believe. All working the inside will achieve is making you an insider, it will change you instead of the vice versa you want. What you're missing is that doesn't mean change is impossible, it just means you have to find a better approach.

Are you aware of your privilege in this situation? That's great, just perfect! Does that excuse the way you're letting it color your opinions? Abso-fucking-lutely not. If I'm calling you naive, saying you've got blinders on, it's because you're talking like it. So, really, do whatever you want, but keep your nice, sugarcoated "good intentions" to yourself. We don't want them.

I said I was done arguing. Not listening.

At this point, I am merely coming to the comm to bang my head against the proverbial wall because apparently we don't speak the same language from the same place.

If you wish to have civil discourse, on what you'd like to see done, how you'd like to see it done -- we can get back to that. But all I'm getting is 'you're wrong' rather then 'I think you're coming from the wrong place, this is the alternative I think is better'.

So, enlighten me - how do you fix a broken system externally? How do you know what's really wrong with it without looking at it from the inside? How do you know how to fix it without opening it up on some level? What would you do?

So, what you're saying is you're getting frustrated because the discourse is no longer playing out on your terms, so you'd rather we recenter it in a way that makes you comfortable. Yeah, I'm not feeling it.

You want some detailed outline, a plan of action, you'll have to look elsewhere. I never show my hand when the cards are still being dealt.

So you'll detail how everything is wrong, but you won't offer alternative solutions.

Yep, I'd rather be naive then cynical.

[hells4children]

And this is why, because you think the fact that I'm not talking about ways to fix it suddenly invalidates everything I'm saying.

Your whole approach to this discussion is entirely disingenuous. Kindly fuck yourself, madam.

Yup, there's the response that'll get you taken seriously as an adult.

Good luck out there. You're going to need it.

On the list of things I'm worried about, being taken seriously by a ditzy journalist who doesn't know the first thing about the subject she's reporting on doesn't even rank.

[ things that however should maybe be on it but aren't are: THE POSSIBILITY THAT PEOPLE THINK I'M A TOOL ]
