You mean how it valourizes victimhood? Or makes a virtue of victimhood?
people strive to be the biggest victim, over becoming as strong as possible
diverts people away from becoming strong
Sure
essentially ensuring the maximising of their own suffering
Hmm, most of it is pseudo-suffering though, that was my point. Having black skin is not a problem. Having cancer is.
yeah
But I know what you mean though, it's the mentality it injects.
i find gaad sad has a good hypothesis
that its a mass case of munchausen syndrome by proxy
Ha! yeah, good way to put it!
where people are using the "oppression" of other people to garner attention for themselves on the behalf of these minorities
regardless of wether these minorities agree with their beleifs of oppresion or not
i like his term OPS
Ostritch Parasitic Syndrome
how progressivism makes people bury their heads in the sand
even if tis based on teh myth that ostritches bury their heads in teh sand
how it spreads liek an ideological parasite
The latest Sam Harris podcast is a discussion with Coleman Hughes, who's just a philosophy student but has some great thinking on race. He made that point on the podcast that actually many of the "oppressed groups" don't generally agree with the victim status being foisted upon them by the critical theorists/SJWs.
XD
When you poll blacks, many of them don't want affirmative action, for example.
is how progressivism itself is a white invention from teh 1st world
its a symptom of peak privledge
Yes, absolutely. Thomas Sowell calls these guys "the anointed", in that they seem to think they have a divine mandate to engineer society to their tastes.
fuck critical race/gender theory
great for studying how these people think
crap for applying to any aspect of reality
Problem is it's graduates from these fields of academia who make up many of the journalists in our media. So they're creating the mass output which the public passively tunes into and it effects the broader culture. It shapes people's worldviews. Sounds silly to say but us here are the "woke" or "red-pilled" minority in that we're aware of this going on. Most people are oblivious to who controls the message they hear.
yeah we are defs in teh minority compared to these academic circles
but i know alot of people not in those circles that are wise to those shenanigans
BBC News website is a case in point. I've witnessed it become increasingly colonised by the critical theory mob in recent years and now it's just pure propaganda output.
on top of some that are in those academic circles that are also wise to the shennanigans
XD yeah cant argue that
Sure. Few can do anything about it though. Jordan Peterson is a bit of a lone wolf on that front.
propaganda parading as objective news
XD i mean jsut seeing that people are wise to it gives me some faith
but i jsut feel
some of these cultural issues, due to the nature of the framing of the arguments, if not constantly tweaked, will fall apart
just cuz of having to face reality
or they will get to a point where they get tweaked so much they actually accurately reflect reality
