I'm technically Asian American, tho it's from Russian heritage

Yer Asian

EuroAsian

Lol idk

iAsian

I'm an amalgamation if different ethnicities

I'm waiting to play my 14% African card
So long as the left wants to play with identity politics

Same, I have many countries to thank for my genetics. Like most people alive today.

People just want to choose sides

Like how kamala chooses to be just jamaican instead of being Indian 🙄

My late grandfather used to say that he isn't a minority, he's the majority because he's a US citizen

We've been systematically divided since the 1960s at least.

How so

It started with War v Peace

Then Abortion v No Abortion

Then Religion v Atheist

Then White v Black

Then Republican v Democrat

Oh I gotchu
Yeah I'd say more like ideologically polarized

I dunno if it's systematic

It comes from those in charge, so I used systematically

More semantics, lol

Fallacy of Equivocation, if you will

The latest push to dehumanize everyone who's right of Stalin has me the most worried

What do you mean?

We call lefties _whiny crybabies_
They call us _genocidal racists_

What's more dehumanizing than that?

So common day witch hunt type thing

Modern Day McCarthyism

Only the commies are in charge this time

Pretty much

My American Lit class is studying The Crucible at the moment and I want to bring up the McCarthyism and witch hunts in class

I don't have enough faith in my classmates to add the two together

I haven't had a class in 20 years. Can't remember the crucible, or if I read it.
I'd just caution that you have your facts together. You're gonna have many of your peers angry with you.

Yeah

Well I kind of splayed out what I know to one of my friends at the moment

In short, going against public opinion or being accused of something can create a mob
Your reputation, job, life, will be in ruins
And you'll be socially isolated
At least that's how I see it

Social media enables that mob mentality to doxx people and basically send a lynch mob to your door

Is your focus on Social Media or are you going broader than that?

I'd say social media because it's more relatable to students and cancel culture happens on the internet

Are you prepped to answer "why" it's become acceptable and "how" that happened?
