Reply to comment by _HossBonaventureCEO_ in Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez sends warning to Lionel Messi: 'He better pray to God that I don't find him' | CNN by cop3213

It might seem that way if you don't belong to a cultural group yourself. A lot of redditors are zombie level consumerists with zero sense of culture, so they're not equipped with a frame of reference to understand things like family, community, blood, culture, etc.

You don't have to be a thin skinned nationalist to understand family, community, and culture. By blood I assume you mean some intangible shared national destiny since you already said family.

Yes, that's what I mean. Canelo gets it at least and he's the best boxer alive.

Ok. I'll probably never understand nationalists and patriots.

I don't particularly understand cosmopolitan ultra consumerists but I'm here to try

I don't get the ultra consumerist part either.

Probably a bit inflammatory on my part, cosmopolitan modern progressive may be a more appropriate term.

Is everyone who holds different values from you a troll? Seems like a reductive and simplistic worldview.

Ah, got it.

Yes, I am very much that. Consumerist doesn't fit.

I'm on this platform mainly to expose myself to people like you, I'm not a typical part of the reddit demographic but I sincerely appreciate being challenged on my preconceived notions. So thanks for engaging with me, even though we don't see eye to eye.

If that means that your country/culture thinks violence is a way of dealing with someone disrespecting their flag, then I feel there are much bigger underlying problems that need to be addressed.
