No, it is not. YOu are ignoring my challenges, and perspective. YOu are dismissing them, because they do not serve your interests or agenda.
You’re challenges and perspectives are not in question... those of immigrants are. That’s what we are discussing
Of course they aren't. Because you don't about them. To you, understanding is a one way street.
It is on US to understand them, not the other way around.
That is why your entire argument is sophist nonsense, provided for the sole purpose of dressing up the fact that all you are doing it telling me to shut up and be lectured to.
What are you talking about? You keep moving the goalpost. You asked a question about why people would take their children on a dangerous trek. You can’t turn it around in the same conversation and condemn me for not understanding your struggles... this conversation has nothing to do with you. If you want to make it about you then pose another question and we can discuss it.
I made a point about a parent taking their children on a dangerous trek.
YOU challenged my ability to judge people with different life experiences. I did not accuse you of moving the goal posts, because it was a relevant to the topic to challenge my ability to make a judgement.
And so we discussed that back and forth a little.
Now we have reached the end of that, and I have pointed out that your desire for understanding is not equal on both parties.
For if your concept of needing to do the work to understand each other is to be valid at all, the understanding must go both ways.
If not, you need to explain, why it is important for me to understand them, but they can ignore me and my concerns.
Because otherwise, it looks like you are just employing sophist nonsense for the sole purpose of dressing up the fact that all you are doing it telling me to shut up and be lectured to.
