Yup, this is public; I am that pissed off.

I wasn't going to get involved, I swear I wasn't.

And then...

Because what the fucking fuck? Don't fucking throw the RAPE OF NANKING in my face when I am talking about white privilege. I just. I cannot type because WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! My grandfather was in the Chinese Navy then, fighting against the Japanese. I have friends with relatives who grew up not speaking Taiwanese because of the occupation. My family left the fucking country and moved to Taiwan because of that war. Don't throw that in my face as a counter to white privilege and just fucking assume I haven't heard of it for some reason; you have no fucking idea.

Comments by people not on my flist are screened; everyone else feel free to comment, but please note I am REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF about this. Don't be stupid. I will repost asshattery under a filter and mock, and I don't fucking care if you somehow think that's unfair.

I wonder if there is a way to say "Right, whoever has the power tends to use it poorly, that's what we are working on challenging here"? (I mean, a way that would be heard). It's the kind of thing I would work on with another white person I knew in person, but on the internet and with a stranger it's usually too much for me to take on

sometimes? Honestly, this guy just kept going and going and being willfully oblivious in the comments. I don't think he would have heard anything.
