I've yet to see how 'honest conversations' can ever be held with 'the left'.
There entire modus operandi is either perpetual twisting of reality or an a emotional journey of hating someone, somewhere, for something...

My family did have slaves in India, back in the day.
Do you know how guilty I feel about? zilch nada , zip.
It was nothing to do with me.

Although the wealth was transferred by marriage to another family, and they are worth lots nowadays, all from that money.

Maybe I should seek reparations? lolol.

IQ will win out, and considering that the average IQ that I see on the left,is around 16 (on a good day) it's just a matter of time.

I just hope 'the win' is before we have another round of genocides - seemingly the left's favorite hobby.
