I appreciate how the middle and upper classes who feign ignorance over their oppression always fall back on fake pretense of respectability and civility and genteelness as though their oppression didn't stem from violence, even if they only watch it or support it through their efforts. If a homeless person who has nothing to eat steals an apple, and the police paid with your labor come to drag him away, would you do anything to stop it? Of course not. Your labor that signs off on the power structure and indifference to the class structure is a form of violence, and trying to end things by falling back on the disguise of respectability is a well known technique.

I appreciate your trying to end this by saying "I am just a nice and respectful person, trying to end this in a civilized way," the final refuge of oppressors: we are just civilized and they aren't, as though your violence at a distance towards the poor somehow exculpates you and your genteelness protects you from impurity.

If you do not realize that extraordinary cruelty and evil is being done to homeless people, and if you don't realize this stems from the upper classes creating oppressive structures due to disdain for the freedom of the poor, then you are either stupid or vicious and avaricious and seduced by convenience and you clearly aren't stupid. None of this matters in the end, the stupidity of the non-scientific class and myopia and selfishness of the upper classes has doomed us all and global warming is coming for us. It's like skiing and seeing an avalanche and it's too wide to ski to the side and you can only ski downhill in futility. There's no outrunning global warming. Imagine India and Pakistan in 20 years in the future in the hottest regions at the hottest times. The displacements will be enormous, there's only so much water in certain areas. How will everyone react then?

I'm not offended by you specifically. You and your kind that feign ignorance of class oppression are a part of nature, you have no control over your mendacious ploys just like snakes wandering into a garden don't really ask to be that way. However, the lower classes are becoming much more educated and as the environment becomes more undeniably destroyed by the upper classes, it will be interesting to see the emotional response of a more educated Internet-empowered lower class as their environment disintegrates before them. The ultra rich have underground bunkers to try to wait this period out for a few generations. It's the smart thing to do, but likely won't matter. My calculations and assessments of this situation could also be completely wrong if I am analyzing the data incorrectly, but I'm almost certain I am right. The data and mathematical trends are ugly and not negotiable. Most of the scientists who don't believe in global warming likely have views rooted in religious delusion.

There is no civility to your kind and I don't accept your facade of respectability or agree to end our interaction with some sort of agree to disagree pseudo-civility. I still hope you suffer for being among the group that feigns ignorance of the cruelty inflicted by the upper classes. I am not a hippy striving for love at all times. I hope you suffer and I hope it hurts like paper cuts are covering your entire body.
