All this demonstrates is that everyone feels discriminated against. Or that many people feel alienated

```A significant majority of Republican voters, 75 percent, said that white Americans are subject to discrimination. Most independents, 55 percent, agreed.```

Yeah, this is surveying

People's feelings are important though

@Methode You're jumping the horn of "normies feeligns don't matter"

This is a very bad horn to grab

People feel alienated -- > need to make people feel included

That's the strong rhetoric or optimistic rhetoric if you ask me

And I"m even the cynic

People are dumb fucks

I hate this person

```A 2017 poll commissioned by NPR found that 55 percent of white adults believed that the racial group experiences societal bias. Only 19 percent of white respondents said that they had personally been discriminated against, however.```

I approach every discussion from a trivial place, so that I don't have to engage with his feels and anecdotes

But I'm glad I effectively muted him immediately

A feeling that your group experiencing discrimination demonstrates, to me, that there's deep concern about it ...
Literally leads you to the white anxiety conclusion

this whole convo is a <:sadbread:663617147209252874>

I just can't engage LARPers. I can't do it

@Methode It could. If you think the pie is set

If you set the population level to 100. And you say "I want there to be more diversity" (You are by proxy saying I want less whites)

But this gets at his faulty presupposition

He's too stupid to self-analyze though

But Methode's .. missing the point of able to grasp where his faulty supposition comes from

It's a classic "Fixed pie fallacy"

And many people think this way. And it's true in some senses

"Racial equality" means "exact absolute number of people of the ethnic group" <:pepega:644890975210176541>

@Methode I'm engaging ... (in shitposting)

Having an IQ of 150 and mopping floors would most likely be bad.
Since you're aware of the pointlessness and idea that you could or should be doing something else

I wouldn't claim to have 150 IQ. But all of my jobs have felt utterly worthless and pointless

@Methode It doesn't matter if he's a troll or not. He's already wasted your time

That's all fascists have to do to keep business as usual. And honestly, this just creates my response of rational apathy

For every 1 person like him, there's gotta be hundreds that I can't do anything about.
Even if they're trolls. They're going to troll public discourse
If they believe their stuff, there's no possibility of reform and it's worse
