What does this have to do with the original point being made back on Page 115?

Because in spite of your assertion that your success comes because of blah blah blah, the spice in your secret sauce is "personal responsibility". Your view is limited.

This taints your statement.


Your post to mikemhg commented on the cognitive dissonance he might have had with BLM and the presence of violence at their rallies, but refused to acknowledge that he was making the point you wanted to make.

"one can post a video of the Proud Boy, Boogaloos, you name it doing the same thing." he said.

"You only want to see your side of things and gets disturbed when any less favorable side is shown." you refuted.

Cool.

He made the point that both sides can be bad, and you made.....a point....about something... and followed up with a 1000 word ramble about "hard work" and "responsibility".



But hey, its cool that you took the time to talk to Xu.Vi about your business and double down on exposing how limited your worldview is.
But but, you see hehe needs to PROVE to us why his position on things is as such. Which is why he needs to give us his life story. He's coming from a place of SUCCESS and RESPONSIBILITY. Without which his opinions are WORTHLESS. It legitimizes everything he says because he sold his startup and because of that, NO ONE else can understand where he's coming from.

Except maybe...
Spoiler!
