Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share

I am not being threatened because I don't see people as a threat. I see ignorance, hate, greed, anger as threats. I have background that would allow me to claim oppression based on ancestral origin, but I choose not to claim it as I am not oppressed.

Hitler would have never been able to gas the jews had people adopted a world view of non-violence and non-agression. He would have never had the support that is bread out of hate. You see you are prescribing a remedy for the symptom, when I advocate curing the disease.

You do not need to see the difference for me, that is the point one has to see it and hold it valuable for oneself.

My worldview is anything but majority oriented, people think I am a wimp, they thing I hate America, they think I am a racist, they think I am a bigot, they think I am a homosexual loving pervert and a deviant and claim that I support all these things because I don't agree with their radical world views and they can only accept by their worldview that if I do not accept theirs than I am the opposite of their position. The reality is very few people agree with my worldview, certainly not the majority as I am constantly explaining to them their doctrines of hate. But again, just like you, I can only fix it in myself and explain to other how it is harmful to us all, but after that it is up to them. Most people do not want to do that level of self reflection because it removed their justifications for feeling the way they do.

Try it, take an inventory of who you dislike and why, more importantly what you would like done with those people. Really reflect on it, do you want justice or revenge on those people. Take yourself out of the equestion, do not justify your position with your feelings or the plights of past errors that have happened to others that you believe need vindication. If you want revenge then it flows from hate. Don't expect them to put down their hate if you are unwilling to put down yours. It is really that simple. I am constantly doing this, as hate is insidious and creeps up in us naturally, it attaches to emotion and hides itself with justifications. You have to strip all that away to see it, and you have to rid it in yourself before you can expect others to do the same. The old adage still hold true, be the change in the world you want to see. It's the hard road and most certainly not the majority "safe" worldview.

More importantly rather than race, I identify myself as an enlightenment era, western liberal and that is the culture that I was raised in an identify with. Race is an artifact of eugenic era thinking.
