Note I said, 'from my experience' in my first post. Likewise everyone else has their experiences. It's been proven that 2 people looking at the same thing, will experience differently.

I appreciate your longer post, as it gives depth, and clarity to your first. It also shows conviction, and sincerity to the topic.

I've experienced on this site, and others, people writing a few words, to 1 line posts that I don't always 'get', by default, for myself usually, I interpret these as a means of, "'gotcha', the rest of the world will know too!!!" It's like some sort of home team playbook thing, 'yeah, I put them in their place'. I've had enough of those, I do refer to them as 'shut up' posts.

Your 1st post, seemed like such to me:

Astonishing to see white women who curl their hair, tan, put collagen in their lips and implants in their buttocks. Ever heard of fashion?

To answer this simply, yes, fashion exists. There are beauty stores, and specialty stores for this. I'm a man, and don't do 'fashion'. I'm an anti-consumer, if such a thing exists. I shop at thrift stores for my clothes, and buy most all I have second hand. My cars are older, and repaired rather than replaced with new. I'm not rich, but at the same time, for common stuff, feel rich by the way I live, and due to the way I live, I can afford those unexpected 'oh shits' in life.

I don't do fashion myself, but do eat, and in reviewing my first post, and looking at your's I see the disconnect. When I'm talking aisles, I'm talking grocery stores; the only stores that for the most part exist in my mindset as necessary. These stores carry 'staples'. It's in these stores that I saw these extreme aisles.

The places I lived also had 'fashion' stores, so to see the 'staple' specialty aisles in grocery stores, well, in my eyes, and with all the warnings of 'don't go here, or there, because of...(by the locals)' My experience still stands. I returned to the US in 09', so perhaps it's all different now.

I will say, when I was there, I saw more racism by non whites to other non whites than I'd ever experienced before.

With this clarification, and knowing you're willing to participate, what next?

EDITED TO ADD FOR CLARITY: (by the locals)

It looks like you're attempting to debate an SJW. Are you sure you wouldn't rather eat broken glass?

Sometimes the conversations are beneficial. I was discussing alternatives to the New Green Deal with a hardcore supporter on another site. There are alternatives available that won't 'hit' the poor man first, but instead the corporations. I explained in detail about the creation of renewed mom, and pop cottage industries that could be created. I had other ideas, but........

I was literally told to shut 'my trap you twat', and without addressing any points I raised as possible alternatives to subjugation of people, well, 'your argument is moronic'.

At some point, somewhere I wasn't a 'threat' as such, I guess meaning neo-conservative, and in a friendly, but direct way they proceeded to go on to explain about how all people are stupid, and we need to be told what to do for our 'own good'; we only have 12 years!!!!!!! They really believe that we must submit to all circumstances presented to us, and stated those folks flying around in private jets making speeches on global warming, shouldn't have to fly commercial because of their 'dedication to the cause'.

Just made my head spin, I try to comprehend where folks are coming from; sometimes, meme's like yours hit the nail on the head, LOL.
