Would you like my honest opinion or the politically correct opinion?

@Neiromatheous, I assume this is not your real name. And you don't have a photo attached to your profile. So I have no idea who you are. No one else has any idea who you are either. By all means, fuck the politically correct answer and give your honest opinion. What do you have to lose? If you somehow manage to piss off the entire community here, you can always create a new profile and start over. Yes, give us your honest answer. I, for one, am curious and anxious to hear it.

@FriendlyBryan I would have given my honest opinion if I cared to. My comment was meant to mock this post in the form of a question.

@Neiromatheous, I just wonder what you mean by separating the two. I have a hard time imagining how the honest opinion of a civilized person could, in this case, be anything different from the politically correct opinion. So I invite you to clarify. Tell us your honest opinion. Tell us what you think of white supremacy. I'm genuinely curious.

@FriendlyBryan "I just wonder what you mean by separating the two. I have a hard time imagining how the honest opinion of a civilized person could, in this case, be anything different from the politically correct opinion"
That line you typed is exactly why I separated the two, and that exact single mindedness is what I make a mockery of. It is the exact same mindset of billions of people. If someone's answer isn't the politically correct one they are obviously uncivilized. So there is no real point in me stating my honest opinion when it is not really the one people want to hear. But since you are so insistent I will humor you.
It doesn't matter what they do or who they hurt. In time they will be forgotten in the innumerable pages of history and all their radicalism, idealism, the good they did and the bad they did, will be as if it never existed.
I suppose I could have shortened it to "I don't give a shit." both pretty well mean the same thing.

@Neiromatheous, now, see, that's an answer I can respect. Not so much the "I don't give a shit" part but the part about time. Yes, all we do will be forgotten in time. All we are, all we say, ultimately all we create, it will all vanish, swept away by the tides of time. But isn't it the time we have now that matters most? I agree that the world, if it knows I exist at all, will forget about me soon enough. But while I'm here I like to do what I can to make things at least marginally better for those who are trapped in this moment with me. This moment is all I have. So I can understand the fatalism of knowing that nothing really matters in the grand scheme of things, I disagree with the idea that it doesn't matter right now.
