Like "racism"
nah... staying vague is not really the same as broaden the meaning of a word, i think
like that Jesse Lee Peterson interview where he asks a woman wheres the proof of "white privilege" and she responds with "All around, i just wish i'd seen it before"
And when he asks to define it, she can't, and only gets appalled that he "can't see it"
The above audiobook is a great resource for anyone wanting to really understand how we got here.
On quora every person "discovering white privilege" seems to have a personal story, and nothing else
well its not the same, staying vague is a tactic
You broaden the meaning, but don't define the outer bounds, so that when you don't give any extra information, a layman will use their own definition to apply at what you're pointing to
"I was waiting for a taxi with Tyrone and the taxi only stopped for *me*"
"I went to a mall with my brown friend and the cashier asked *me* for cash"
i'll summerise that audiobook in 1 image for you Atkins ๐
Have you actually read the book or listened to the audiobook?
Because that's not the the summary at all.
I didn't bother, but its the gist of Post-modernism is "You can't be an authority on something, because i with my experience might have a different take of events, so your view of things can't be the right one"
aka, "I feel like i'm right, therefore you can't say i'm wrong"
aka, like that image
"I can't be WRONG because i have a different viewpoint"
thats the problem with pseudo anarchists
they think authority doesnt exist
it does
if a cop says "this area is a frozen zone"
like they did in NYC
thats total bullshit, they made that up
there is no legal frozen zone
however
when someone is bleeding and a doctor looks at you and says "put pressure on the wound" you say "ok"
postmodernists might as well be flat earthers and anti vaxxers
Post Modernism would've worked if Cognitive bias didn't exist
because the original idea was "well, Science for example keeps changing due to new evidence, so no one can ever be the DEFINITIVE authority on an answer".
Hence we can't discount an idea because the smart guy said he doesn't like it
But people have re-read that as i stated earlier "I see things differently, and since no one can ever be the definitive authority, i feel like my view has merit too, because yours could be just as wrong, hence I get to chose what i believe, and i believe in my things, despite what evidence said because the evidence could turn out to be wrong"
There are infinite ways to interpret the world, but only a couple that keep plains in the air, cure cancer sometimes and keep the lights on
Cause what you believe you act out
Otherwise you just thinking about something
the far left is anti science
i think even bill maher said it
science is dangerous to people that deny that there are biological differences between men and women.
(which in itself is a statement that is even more absurd than what flat earthers are saying)
>There are no differences between men and women
>Gender dysphoria is real
isn't this the video that lindsey shepard got into trouble for?
yea
its set to the point where this very unwell man claims biological sex doesnt exist
It's been a concept ever since the reimer case, actually
It's a bit disturbing that this is popular again after the theory of gender being a spectrum was discredited decades ago.
youll alos notice that the far left says "unpack" all the time
t5ribal language
it's fucking dangerous... "hey doctor, we have to treat this patient with a wound in the lower abdomen" - "man or woman?" - "unicorn" ๐ (or worse: it says "male" but the organs are female)
the only thing you have to unpack is christmas presents
I doubt the far left is going to fall anytime soon
they control a lot of academia
Hell, the true history of feminism has literally been rewritten
lets stir the pot shall we ๐
Gay and Lesbian aren't genders either so drop those too.
the drop the b thing though makes sense
in fact if 4chan didnt do it would have happened
but now they have to disavow it
Bisexuals are the new bigots.
more like
BIgotsexuals amirite
tbh if it does take off, it will be because not enough people
doesn't that mean we need more letters now for say trans people who only like other trans people. or should be drop the L and G and just make it like unisexual. since gay is men only, and lesbian is women only, there is people being excluded
know about the 4chan thing
which is rather likely
i mean its not hard to go on a anon website and look to see if there is an OP going on
yet somehow they never do..
the culture war isn't be won by the left or right. its being won by 4chan.
they managed to get all of western society to treat their shitposts like they are serious.
lol
yup
in the podcast today Lior talks about how as long as there is an idea its not a fact
so
the ok sign DOES mean white power so long as one person claims it does
its an opinion
I said to him
what if there was a photo of you with powered sugar on your face and I said "just a guy with cocaine all over his face"
is it my opinion that its cocaine so its not defamation?
the OK sign does nto mean white power, that is a fact
it can mean both things, to different people
like those places in the world where shaking your head means yes
or a peace sign is an insult
and white powder on your face can also be cocaine
prove its not
yes
Confederate flag is a good example of something meaning different things to different people.
actually its a lot more likely to be cocain in my case
the idea in my opinion to solve this is rather straightforward and something we all instinctivly do anyway
people that signal that the ok sign is not ok (lmao) are not signaling that there is a hidden meaning to the ok sign, but that they are shitlibs
and as a result it wont stick, because it doesnt adhere to the subconcsious cultural meaning already established by most people
so let them waste their energy pushing something this silly, they wont win against all of western civilization for who this is already well imprinted
never interupt your enemy when they'th make a mistake
at this point you could argue that the ok sign means white power - just because the meme is so well known that there might be people using it that way... ๐
hmm i dono
from what i gather if they use it that way, its ironicly
as in, they are not signalling that they are white supremacists, but that the shitlibs are tards
than the peace sign means two genders
yes, man and property are the 2 genders
thats not as "popular" a meme though
and to be clear: i'm not arguing that it means white power, but i can see situations where the argument is valid
tbh i think for the vast majority of people they eighter understand it means OK, or they understand that shitlibs are tards and think it means white power when it doesnt
also: how i can phrase something as unclear as possible while starting with "to be clear" ๐
i find it very hard to believe someone actually thinks it means white power
the thing is... you can use it that way because people know that it means ok... i should stop trying to explain the way my thinking works ๐
