If a genocide survivor showed up on my doorstep with nowhere else to go, I hope that my reaction would be: Welcome fellow man. You must be desperate. How can I help.
Why do you feel the need to lash out at a stranger for expressing love for humans in need?
Do you have some life experience you would be willing to share that could help me understand why my desire to help people in the ways that I can elicits such a response?
Your "desire to help people" seems to consist of giving away things that don't belong to you. If you restricted your helping to giving up things of your own it would be laudable, when you sacrifice things that aren't yours to begin with it's the opposite.
But I don’t think I said anything like that. You asked if I would be willing to offer my own home and personal property to refugees and I said yes.
Now you are saying that I offered something that wasn’t mine to give. And that I should be condemned for it. I promise you, my living room is mine, and it is open to those who need it.
I really feel that you are not understanding me (hopefully), or that alternatively you are misinterpreting my words intentionally.
I didn’t volunteer anyone else’s home. I volunteered mine.
I’m not talking about moving an entire continents worth of genocide survivors to occupied land that I don’t control because I wasn’t asked about that. I wasn’t asked about what o would do if those people set up a system that perpetuated a new human tragedy. That seems to be what you want to engage on, but I haven’t said anything about that, I have only had related statements extended in ways that simply do not represent me or anything I have said to you.
I wanted to have an honest and open discussion, but that doesn’t seem to align with your actions and words. The world is better when we assume good intent instead of ill (it’s the only reason I keep engaging with you to be honest). If you want to do that, please engage with the words I have spoken, not the words or intent I haven’t expressed. Alternatively, if you want to keep attributing to me things I haven’t said and breaking the rules of discourse for HN, please stop.
