    I think your coping mechanisms have made your life more difficult.

    By definition that’s not possible. Unless you’re accusing me of being incompetent; correct exercise of coping mechanisms cannot make life more difficult because they’re engineered as a ratchet.

      It is common to develop a drug or alcohol addiction as part of a coping mechanism. That can absolutely make your life more difficult. Coping mechanisms can make it more difficult to make changes that will better your life.

      The path of least resistance isn’t always the easiest path.

        I promise you that this is not the “path of least resistance”. In fact, it may be the path of most resistance - that’s evidence it’s the right one.

          Which is it? Your choices don’t make life more difficult or they do and that’s why they are good?

            People’s reactions to my choices make my life more difficult, and that’s why they are good. They can choose not to make my life more difficult; they instead make the immoral choice. My choice is moral and therefore the only one I can really make.

              It’s interesting that any pushback you is evidence you are correct. It’s also interesting that you take no responsibility for any difficulties you might experience, it’s always the result of someone else’s choice.

                I take responsibility for things I have actually done wrong. The problem here is that people conflate their out-of-control feelings with factual incorrectness. I can’t be responsible for your feelings, especially when you go out of your way to feel things in bad faith to blame me for those feelings. It’s your responsibility to not allow your feelings to affect your judgment in any way.

                You don’t actually care about me being truly responsible - you just want me to be stupid enough and submissive enough to accept responsibility for things I have no duty to be responsible for. You want me to be responsible for your feelings that you have in bad faith, so you can justify “punishing” me arbitrarily.

                    You’re the one avoiding facts.

                    Right now, a third of the U.S. - the white supremacy movement - has openly announced their desire to kill off at least another third of the U.S.

                    But, for some reason, those same people will refuse to kill me - despite some of them being the exact same people who beat me up in grade school?

                    They’re murderers, dipshit - they don’t make exception for anyone - not even their own.

                    And the only reason the other two thirds aren’t actively killing me is because they know the other third will - and they plan to help them kill me.

                    Also, “out to get” is your bullshit framing base on your laziness. It’s actually opportunism - but that still leaves me dead, and doesn’t excuse their behavior - or yours.

                    Finally, you still haven’t addressed the fact that you positively, provably manipulate your own emotions in bad faith to create a justification for abusing me.
