And I agree with the second comment, that people just really need to grow up and form their own opinions rather than relying on the rhetoric of either "side" as a means of self justification. <br /><br />In this case, the author of that email is just as lost now as he/she was when he got involved with the whole White Power scene. Not because they've flopped to the other side necessarily, but because he seems to blame being a "degenerate drunk" and a "hurtful piece of shit" on his former associations, rather than on his own inclinations at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-82983330633250738632011-03-15T05:55:29.724-06:002011-03-15T05:55:29.724-06:00"...

It's so typical that when people leave the WP movement, they just turn the other way."<br /><br />That's a foolish thing to say because there are many pathways for a person to choose during the process of a lifetime, leading to a vast array of possibilities - not only one path allowing two opposing directions. Perhaps, the formation of a personal opinion is exactly what had taken place for the one who wrote this statement, and this person may simply be declaring to those who were once and may still be their personal enemy, that a new way has been revealed to them. And, what's wrong with that? Do not be so narrow minded, hypocrite. Must those who disagree always remain at war? Noble people, out of respect for those that they may deem a worthy adversary, CAN and sometimes DO declare messages of peace and honor whilst maintaining their established differences apart from other philosophies. People are humbled in their humility, and so they learn the truth of the concept of individuality and are therefore, liberated.

It's so typical that when people leave the WP movement, they just turn the other way. <br />What I wonder is: Do people ever get around to forming their own opinions? In my opinion, it's better to just be yourself and form your own thoughts then to conform to a movement (whether it be WP, anti- racist groups or any other group really).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-55824103281509465222011-03-12T03:44:13.585-07:002011-03-12T03:44:13.585-07:00I believe what you should reflect on the most is n...I believe what you should reflect on the most is not what you robbed yourself, but of the existence that you robbed other people of. Sorry to sound like a dick but you chose to rob yourself of those ''youthful'' years by restricting the happiness felt by those you were oppressing. I am all for live and let live but you need to really recognize the oppression that you have caused from you you living your life. I'm not a religious person so I don't believe you can wash away your sins but I hope this makes you realize that you can live a happier and more self-fulfilling life by living life honestly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
