    Ahh idealism, I remember that shit. I think people suck at a fundamental level, only humans are capable of being anti human, and they do it frequently. You want a rational answer to an irrational response, the answer is that it doesn’t matter. Spin your wheels trying to dig turds out of a toilet.

      Just a downvote and no response? I’m ok with a misunderstanding mate. I honestly thought I was a good conversation to have and liked your initial comment. But, damn, you confuse the meaning of a word I used and give a snarky reply you’re gonna get one in return.

      What you are doing is “Idealism” literally in your response. Here, I’ll help you out, because you seem to be confused.

      Idealism is a philosophical approach that prioritizes mind, spirit, or consciousness as the primary reality, asserting that material things exist only as perceptions or mental constructs

      You asserted that “people are just that way”. You are an Idealist. You think that these people come to these beliefs first through their mind. Not through their lived experiences.

      I think you are confusing “Idealism” with someone being “idealistic”. Because your response really sounds like you have no idea what I was talking about.
