Oh, labels do matter, pratel
Lol
im a homosexual, i really love my home 😄
Very much
They do, but it'd be nice if they mattered less
It can change anyone's approach to your arguments
Labels matter in coarse discourse
now that obama called out identity politics lets make a list of far lefties who will turn and start calling for civility
yeah a label doesnt dictate your feelings on a very specific issue
But it doesn't matter if you are actually going to take the time to figure out how someone thinks.
XD
Obama called out Identity politics?
@pratel no one does so except intellectuals
yes very much he did
Nice
They've stopped calling out IDpol, but they started with some strong anti-IDPol lefties.
civility is a construct of the white heteropatriarchy
Labels also may describe you as what you are not (in a stereotypical sense)
And that is counterproductive
yeah lol for real
✊🏾 stay woke JULZ
Yay Obama!
I am actually SUPER IMPRESSED with Obama on that.
I knew he couldn't be that bad
Im still really meh about Obama in general, but i approve of this.
A lot of people saying 'oh it's safe for him to say that shit because he's not in power'
He's still saying it
well, when you don't need to worry about elections anymore, it's easier to speak out against crazies
yeah i mean in SA its actually probably a contentious thing to say there too
But the thing is, there are STILL tons of fucking people who look up to him
I hereby officially proclaim that I am a labelfluid
and having him say something like that is BIG,
I'm still torn on it all. He's been coming out strongly for stuff like Free speech and anti-IDPol for awhile now.
But I haven't seen him really use it to intervene in anything or really push a stance in a significant way.
You can't be labelfluid because 'labelfluid' is a label and your label might change .. my brain is melting
yeah ofcourse he wont address anitfa or socjus wariors
they were hillarious's base
Well he's at least saying the 'right' things now, better then him not doing so right?
I'll agree with that.
Yeah, not trying to minimalize what Obama did at all. I respect him for that anyway.
