Do you think they are being insincere or do you know they are insincere ? What’s the back story of the lady kneeling? I ask just because there is a condition I had for a long time where I didn’t trust when a person was legitimately being nice to me because of how many microaggressions I had from living and working in a toxic environment. it really fucked me up for years from being able to give anyone a chance again. I linked every good deed to be an omen to 5 bad deeds and projected it at people who did something they thought was thoughtful as if I ‘was onto their game’. I think it’s called something like ptsd from cycle of abuse. Abusers do a bunch of horrible shit and then pay it all off by doing one nice thing. Like go to church after taking bribes or something. So I wonder what the nasty things this lady did when she’s not doing a photo op.

There is no way they sincerely believed I was trying to say company should come out and say we won't do anything about racism. Zero chance in hell that original comment was sincere. Nobody could possibly read me mocking fake attempts to cash in on the BLM protests as that. It's that simple.

And yes, every comment since then has been 'im just trying to understand' in a very reasonable sounding way but, considering it's all based on an obviously sincere comment that means all of it is insincere as well.

As I've said from the beginning it all boils down to instigation. A completely insincere response to my original comment that was an attempt to make it sound bad for no reason other than trying to stir up shit.

That’s some jumbled predictive shit. Okay Fuck this noise. this was an AI bot all along just spewing catch phrases. There is no way a legitimate person speaks in convoluted hate riddles like this.
