If the surgeon doing surgery on me to remove a cancerous tumor, I want the person who was best qualified for the job
I don't give a flying fuck what color or gender they are, or who they fuck when they go home
I want to not die on the operating table
But now, the white male doctor who's top of his class has a very real chance of not getting hired at my local hospital in favor of that hospital trying to meet a diversity quota
The whole point of not judging a person by the color of their skin is exactly that
And I still stand by that. I judge people by the content of their character
The left stopped doing that, which is why I'm not a lefty anymore
Oh, and the sheer hypocrisy of the left claiming to love everyone and all that bullshit. They kind of undercut their entire message when they say every possible hateful thing about white males, or whites in general. I see far more hate from the left than I do from the right.
And if you don't believe me, try disagreeing with a lefty and see how fast they turn on you.
It was kind of amusing watching the redpilling of Laci Green, who was one of the most famous lefty feminists around. Then she realized some of the same things I just touched on, and her fanbase turned on her so fast she had to pretty much hide for a while.
I hear more people complaining about people complaining about white people than I actually hear the left complaining about white males. Can't we just preach our own message instead of just using this platform to gripe against the left all the time?
They're living rent free in a lot of heads around here.
Maybe we just hang out in different circles
But I see it all the time
Must be.
And I believe I was preaching my own message, what else do you want?
Did you have something else in mind?
There's also that you can see some other ultra-woke, anti-white, self-flagellating policy set forth by some business or educational institution or other damn near every day. It's hard NOT to think about it or wonder where it ends.
It's regressive behavior at its worst. Not only is it anti white, it's in its own blind way racist against the very people the stupid shit is intended to benefit, carrying the not so subtle connotation that we apparently AREN'T equal, to go by their reasoning.
So I'm fine letting some of it sit around rent free.
Yeah and there are extreme views on both sides. Both bad. Doesn't make our bad people any better than their bad people.
How many universities have non-white safe spaces now? That's straight up racial segregation. And it sends the message that minorities are somehow unsafe around whites.
That's disgusting racism. And it's commonplace now.
Talk about actual policy, and things that can still improve within our own party, which is plenty. Then we can start judging them.
Such as?
I'm curious what problems you think "our" party has, considering I don't affiliate with any particular party.
If you mean the republican party, then by all means
Lay out what you think is wrong
What policy do you disagree with?
And we'll talk about it
@mrbigman >there's bad views on both sides
While true, the false equivocation gets us nowhere
Nor does pretending that opposing viewpoints always have equal validity or worth
That's half of what got us into the shitty state of things we're in
Pretending or even entertaining the idea that all cultures have something worthwhile to offer
That all viewpoints have some kind of fact to them
It's the same participatory achievement mindset that tells us absolutely everyone is special and amazing and destined for something great
We're not.
False equivocation and the concept that everything possesses some great worth in the balance of things is one of the most erroneous and odious set of bullshit first principles we can adopt when looking at something.
It implies that there can't be value judgements made, and that such a degree of moral relativism exists that anything can be justified.
