I’m going to mount efivars as rw and delete them

I agree that I can’t follow your logic or argument, it just seems nonsensical. If there’s a sense, it is beyond me or maybe you just see some sense in it that I don’t. Not sure further explaining will help, so I get it.

I don’t think the oppressed care if you are wishful for this or that time if it makes no difference to them. They’d probably understand that you were being wishful for a time when things were better for you, same as they undoubtedly are if things have become worse.

The idea that you’re never allowed to be wishful ever, even when things have gone worse, because someone somewhere is always going to be oppressed is a bit nonsensical.

I bet Iranians now are wishful for Obama, for example.

You are upset about people being wishful for better times, it is just your explanation for the upset doesn’t make much sense to me. I think it’s easier to continue this convo in just the other thread, I’ll continue replying just in that

So if the oppression is the same then what does it matter to the oppressed if you were wishful for a time when other things were better?

It doesn’t give much power to anyone to think “this time sucks, I wish we still had the better times”

Did that oppression stop or why is missing those times so bad?

Not being able to see degrees to things seems more like a handicap than anything good tbh.

But if you understand “better” then shouldn’t that help in understanding how people miss better times?

Bad is bad

There’s always degrees to it. I dunno why so many online forget about this

What happened to the concept of better?

I get your point and I don’t disagree, but surely you get your relatives too?

I mean with Trump now, surely Obama comparatively seems great? Not a saint but isn’t it easy to see why those relatives would miss him?
