protesting brings the fbi to your door

atriot:

 

She sounded very petulant, it was irritating....I understand why she would be concerned but the attitude was just unnecessary. Maybe I'm missing something here also but why can't she just answer the question? She was irritating.

 

Yea, I completely agree. She was unnecessarily condescending and she made sure to keep stressing the point that she's, "a mother of five kids." So what, the number of children you have equates your innocence? Because you have children means you wouldn't hurt anyone or destroy property? Should the peaceful protester who doesn't have any kids be confronted by the FBI and not you? What is the point of saying this over and over? Saddam Hussein had children..wtf do kids have to do with any of it?

 

Ugh, I know. Also, they were very polite FBI people, and it's true that you should kind of keep your guard up, but that doesn't constitute being rude. She honestly wasn't giving protesting a good name. I've never protested anything and that doesn't encourage me to; I don't want to be surrounded by people who shove their beliefs down your throat. It's a noble cause and all that, but damn.

 

Seriously. And when she edited the video later she made sure to include multiple shots of her with her family, shots of Zionists, shots of anti-palestinians, shots of bulldozers ruining land. The whole thing just came across as one big piece of propaganda. Almost seemed more like it was made by the United States government, not against their actions. So dramatic.

 

Kinda goes to show you that there's assholes on both end of the spectrum, I guess.

 

Yep, you said it. I've often found that some people who have a cause (which they regard as great) can be awfully pretentious. They let their philanthropy inflate their ego. It's a catch 22

"I'm doing great things. I don't have to be nice to those who stand in the way of this great cause."

 

I know, it's really sad :/ I wonder if they ever really think about how they sound? She seemed to be under the impression she was giving everybody really great advice.

 

You will actually have to clear that with Xac, him being the leading authority of what is or is not a catch 22.

 

lol. I know. That's the other side effects of an over inflated ego from doing good things for others...narcissistic delusions of grandeur.

"Don't pat yourself too hard on the back, you might break your spine."

 

Although I guess in a way they're just kind of like little kids, good intentions but they haven't figured out quite how to use their tools (words, actions etc) effectively. maybe once they realize that people aren't responding the way they'd like them to they'll change their actions.

 

No, as is often the case, and is the case in her very exaggerated demeanor, they do those things, body language, actions, to make people react in a way that conforms to their way.

 

I don't know anybody who would respond well to that, honestly. Then again I'm picky about who I hang out with, who knows xP

 

I've known people like that. They force you to react to things, questions, situations in a way that they think keeps them in control and whatnot. It's a very strange thing and makes it very uncomfortable to be around them. That or they get offended if you don't like or aren't impressed with what they're doing.

 

Huh. I haven't met anybody like- oh wait, yes I have. My drug dealer! hahaha he is exactly like that, tries to make sure everybody knows that he knows more and that the better option would be to agree with him.

 

Yep. Because it's a position of power. He's got something that you, and everyone else he knows, wants. My old dealer was the exact same, that's who I was referring to in my last post. He was really bad at it too. He'd tell me things like I, "didn't talk loud enough." And if I didn't talk to him in a volume he liked he'd go, "Huh, whats that, speak up!" It was fucking maddening. I'm naturally a very quite, calm, person. He was loud and abrasive and so wanted others to conform to that standard.

 

Ughhh, my dad is the same way. In the evenings he likes to relax and chill, even if he's just been sitting on the couch all day, and I'm the opposite. I'm a night person. So I'll come downstairs and talk with my mom, not too loudly, but I have a loud laugh naturally, so he gets pissy and tells me that I should relax at night like everyone else.

So aggravating.

But yeah my dealer now likes to guess what kind of drug I'll do next, or he'll like pretend he knows everything about me just from trivial things like my hair color or 'body language.' He's such a child.

 

Wonder how he'd react if the FBI raided his place.

"You can stay outside, show me badges! Here's a camera. I have nieces and nephews! This is bullshit!"

 

haha, my dad or my dealer?

my dad would stiffen up and try and make himself look taller, and speak loudly and get up in their face & jab them in the chest with his finger.

my dealer would just go on a cussing rage
