apathy is very easy to explain and understand and is incompatible with intense feeling that anyone might be worried about.
By the way this is my lifetime's lucky TEN THOUSANDth minor adjustment to how I talk about race. This is the glory of being a modern person. Past a few centuries ago you probably wouldn't think about this ever, apart from learning that the name for "guy too dumb to even speak right" is something like barbarian or немец.

@apropos @ClaraListensprechen4 I don't know why you're effortposting a reply but I hope you've learned that there's no clever incantation you can cast to ward off pozzed bullshit.
@PonyPanda @ClaraListensprechen4 nah, avoidance is a proven strategy, and emphasizing apathy is part of that. It won't get you past some idiots blocking the road and it might not work if you actively go to college to talk to indoctrinated people, but it's also not going to harm you.
Another appeal to it is novelty. Courses on being a POW or a hostage are useful here:
1. you really want to avoid training your antagonist into doing the think you like the least. If torture is what works for the antagonist, then you're always going to get tortured.
2. (less emphasized) you don't want to walk on the antagonist's well-trodden paths. A guy that's killed hundreds of people while they begged for their lives is not going to pause if you beg for yours. Words he's pre-dismissed are not even words to them, they're like animal barking.

@apropos @ClaraListensprechen4 you're over intellectualizing this. A normie/libtard hears "I don't care about black people" and they hear "I want to kill black people." They are not willing to wait for your hot take explanation before they start screaming at you/blocking you.
@PonyPanda with @ClaraListensprechen4 she didn't even understand what I'd said, and went with eagerly misreading it as some words she'd pre-dismissed. Probably helped by some prejudice about FSE, the same way I guessed that she was serious - something I wouldn't have believed without the @qoto.org.
This can happen in real life as well, but there are gradients here. A judge isn't going to block you and scream at you, and you have no need to talk with the blocker/screamer anyway.
I called it a minor adjustment. It's not a solution to idiocy. It's just a better way to approach things. If you have to talk on race, don't talk exactly like all the other victims of the process have talked.

@apropos @PonyPanda @ClaraListensprechen4 this is the problem. People listen or read enough to emote not understand.
@apropos @ClaraListensprechen4 all good. I'm sure she was an exception and you're not going to run into more misunderstandings along the way.
I said to someone "It's okay to be white" and they called me a Nazi. They didn't even give me a chance to explain it but I'm sure that was just a one off.

Yah, people are like that.
Ironically it's mostly white people who call you a nazi anyway, which always makes me chuckle.

@Tony @PonyPanda @ClaraListensprechen4 some kind of illegal once called me a Nazi for asking him why he even came to a country where he'd have such obvious hatred and contempt for the society around him. Is it so fun to be around people you have no respect for? Wouldn't you rather live in a place where you *want* to get along with the people there?
He was jaywalking.
In terms of "obeying retarded traffic signs that forget that pedestrians even exist", I jaywalk all the time. I cross intersections on the diagonal. I cross against the lights. If the drawn crosswalk is 15 degrees off from where I want to go I'll walk off of it. But if I've ever troubled someone on the road I feel bad about it. And that's usually me not realizing that a light has a fucking sensor and will never go green while I'm waiting on a bike for it.
And jaywalking, the word, is more about behaving like an country bumpkin that doesn't even understand city rules. People come to New York and they get in the way and the police need an excuse to encourage them to stop being stupid.
This illegal is the only guy I've ever seen honestly behaving in a way that would justify jaywalking laws. He wasn't accidentally getting in peoples way, he was making a point of it.
That short conversation was better than any I've ever had on race.

For racial injustice: I don't like injustice, and I don't really care what flavor it comes in. Lots of anti-white racism out there. Israeli politicians manage to say shocking stuff even when you carefully assume that they're always talking about Hamas specifically. Injustice overall is sky-high and gets a lot more overt when it's about hated classes or occurs in a district devoid of political balance like Washington DC.
