I generally don't use the dichotomy

2018-09-12 01:08:25 UTC  

Either left/right or liberal/conservative, beyond light shitposting

2018-09-12 01:08:37 UTC  

Left/right is especially arbitrary tbh

2018-09-12 01:09:43 UTC  

It is. I'm high in consciousness (right) but also high in openess (left)

2018-09-12 01:10:07 UTC  

exactly my point 😄

2018-09-12 01:10:23 UTC  

I don't just mean big5 traits

2018-09-12 01:10:47 UTC  

I mean "left wing" and "right wing"
Like what makes "the alt-right" right wing?

2018-09-12 01:11:24 UTC  

Right Wing? More like White Wing

2018-09-12 01:11:29 UTC  

Ayy

2018-09-12 01:11:34 UTC  

But, yeah, I don't know

2018-09-12 01:11:41 UTC  

It's a good question

2018-09-12 01:11:47 UTC  

But seriously, a lot of those memesluts love the welfare state

2018-09-12 01:12:35 UTC  

They're not for individual rights so they're definitely not libertarian. Some of them are traditional-ish, but they don't respect US cultural values (free speech being one of them)

2018-09-12 01:14:19 UTC  

for all that is worth, and this is an outsider looking in, US cultural values are inharently racist AF. This is so so so sad and brutal.

2018-09-12 01:20:05 UTC  

which values would those be?

2018-09-12 01:21:50 UTC  

you view citizens of a different race as a group with certain protections, advantages, privileges and even class them as culturally different.

2018-09-12 01:22:33 UTC  

oh, you mean the leftist views?

2018-09-12 01:23:02 UTC  

or at least the views the msm

2018-09-12 01:24:40 UTC  

you all use them to an extent. I can start a gender and or race debate, which is way too much for me (04:24 AM where I am)

2018-09-12 01:29:37 UTC  

an unfortunate necessity brought on by a bunch of racist

2018-09-12 01:29:52 UTC  

we were going in a good direction 10 or so years ago

2018-09-12 01:30:00 UTC  

we went way backwards in the last like 4

2018-09-12 01:30:55 UTC  

i remember when token characters were racist

2018-09-12 01:31:02 UTC  

now its racist not to have token characters

2018-09-12 01:32:40 UTC  

identitarianism is a method of power politics. in the past it was used by the callous and powerful to opress the weak, now its used by the weak and nihilistic to take power from the powerful and stupid

2018-09-12 01:32:55 UTC  

you always had a concept of "black culture" or "italian culture" or "mexican culture". Don't know, probably seems fine with you, but as a foreigner, it disturbs me greatly and most mono-ethnical countries see it as mean to say the least

2018-09-12 01:34:22 UTC  

people have a hard time getting over race

2018-09-12 01:34:50 UTC  

im not sure its nessicary to do so, but if you dont it becomes imposible to be multiethnic

2018-09-12 01:36:01 UTC  

at a young age people know race, then even when you grow to try and ignore race theres the cliff face delimma. a black man and a white man hanging from a cliff, who do you save?

2018-09-12 01:36:16 UTC  

interesting that you see not forcing immigrates to entirely erase their history to be considered American as "racist"

2018-09-12 01:36:37 UTC  

i think there is too much focus on the differences and not enough on what should be the unifying pieces and what doesn't matter

2018-09-12 01:36:39 UTC  

does nosoul think that?

2018-09-12 01:37:08 UTC  

i dont remember him saything that

2018-09-12 01:37:48 UTC  

i mean, if you don't have a concept for it, it means you can't have it. if you have something, generally you give it a name

2018-09-12 01:38:05 UTC  

no, all I'm saying if somebody wants to be an American, that's what one is. All I said is that I find it racist to distinguish between Americans ethnicly.

2018-09-12 01:38:28 UTC  

what does the word racist mean?

2018-09-12 01:38:30 UTC  

well i agree then, we focus too much on the differences

2018-09-12 01:39:19 UTC  

ironically one of my favorite comedians has a joke he had to go the middle east to finally be called american and not Latino

2018-09-12 01:39:37 UTC  

can i not be seen?

2018-09-12 01:40:00 UTC  

im typing but it seems like no ones reacting to what im saying
