You are supporting / justifying hate.

Im actually rolling my eyes at how over the top this is. 22-23 is still a child. Maybe not legally, but biologically she is still developing. I made stupid mistakes and said stupid things when I was 21-22. That's just part of life.

The woman holds herself accountable for her own words, she's reflective and can admit when she is wrong. If she truly believed all those things then she would have have made friends with the people she did.

She is owed the same good grace you would give your younger self and those around you.

90% of what she's said there is showboating for attention like majority of young people do.

All of the nuance has gone from life these days, Its just a constant barrage of us vs them, black and white, no grey areas.

I consider myself centre left, the left are no so far left that its bordering on Marxism.

You agree with the rhetoric 1000% because if 0.001% of you even questions the mass, then youre ejected and subjected to the same vitriol

Its embarrassing

Roll your eyes all you want. I certainly didn’t say things like that when I was 22, and wouldn’t have made excuses for anyone that did.

Oh good for you, it must be so amazing to be so perfect and to not have made any mistakes. What a high standard you've set for others though

Yeah, because expecting people not to be racist is having high standards. This is comical.

Some when someone says something unsavoury, then that is them wrote off for life? Youre not willing to allow them to change?

You think being so fatalistic is being a decent person?

Not at all, but I certainly wouldn’t try and explain why it’s justifiable to any degree. She wasn’t 12 when she wrote those messages. If someone posted a message online right now along the same lines, would you say “ah, but they’re only 22”. No, you wouldn’t. She should be held accountable, and say sorry. I didn’t once say her life is over.

What part of the opening post dont you understand. At 22 your brain doesn't register consequences or rational thought.

22 is still adolescent
