that’s really terrible comrade, I’m so sorry for you and your family. I’m sure those experiences and memories have left deep intergenerational scars that linger within you and your family… I hope you can find it within yourself, to use those feelings to motivate in our work changing the world.

Sorry if I came across like a shithead, I understand how easy it is to fall into a defencive mode, arguments online with faceless users are so easy to get out of hand. This felt like a small miscommunication that was leading to upset among people who would otherwise be close allies.

It’s so hard to judge tone through text, and I could feel myself starting to bitter towards you. I might have said something curt and defensive myself, if I hadn’t run to catch a bus. We’re all pretty fragile, it’s a lot of practice remaing calm and to realise when we’re starting to lash out.

I hope you have a good day friend :)

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you really seem to be taking some pretty good faith comments very personally, it’s not about you or me.

you could easily say that survivors from the Warsaw ghetto were moved to paltry concentration camps.

Sure you’re agreeing, but this comment reads really dismissively to the above imo.

You could have compared it to Warsaw Ghetto with a separate comment, or at least not detracted from our comrades statement, only to then get defensive.
