I did not post this about slavery or white-shaming. I think you missed my "point".

I posted this because emotional, economical, and physical wounds are made everyday by the actions of people.
But people without a soul will not even acknowledge, that their knife-stab would have hurt anyone. Because they do not feel. And still they hold on to it, because they seem to enjoy the pain.

Like the federal reserve or the pentagon or whoever, institution or criminal.
These things need to be talked about, so the knifes can be removed from their hands.

If there are actual wrongs they need to be specified so they can be addressed. Talking in metaphors about being "wounded" doesn't make sense.

I hate it when people fall for this stuff. They get rounded up with vague platitudes, and hyped up and made emotional. Then the "shepherd" introduces thier semi relavant agenda and uses the herd as a weapon.

I agree this happens a lot but this is Saidit. It's better than that.

Agreed. To put it another way:

It is like fine art. It is said the goal is to keep it vague so people can see in it what they want.

While this can also make for a successful meme in that it gains popularity, it isn't very useful at propagating a specific message opposed to a general emotion.
