Helicopter ride for Corbyn when?

I hope we have done enough

2018-05-20 19:52:40 UTC

The new look of white identity politics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xP9TjNj9C8

6:40 is where it starts to get really icky.

2018-05-21 09:35:54 UTC  

She makes the argument that whites are the most virtuous and says that she prefers identity groups stay apart.

2018-05-21 09:37:55 UTC  

I thinkher notion of seperation as a way to remedy race relations, by disassociation from 'the scourge of the oppresssed', is misguided.

2018-05-21 09:38:15 UTC  

Surprised about that like/dislike ratio.

2018-05-21 09:56:45 UTC  

The more diverse America gets, the further into the toilet it goes... and at this point, flush it down."

Except simply saying "America is in the toilet" isn't at all charitable, it's actually wrong.

2018-05-21 09:57:07 UTC  

Syria is in the toilet, that's a bit more fair to say.

2018-05-21 09:57:17 UTC  

Venezuela is in the shitter.

I think the premise that race is the major factor in division and unrest in the US is false, even though I think she has a point about the government forcing people together through quotas etc. I don't think dividing the US into different racial zones will solve anything, in fact it will probably makes things worse unless the underlying problems such as the welfare state and breakdown of family/community are resolved first. But even if it worked, I wouldn't want to be excluded from being able to move to a different area of the country. Luckily, these kinds of people aren't getting anywhere.

2018-05-21 09:57:45 UTC  

^ very good first point

2018-05-21 09:58:18 UTC  

Haidt wrote an essay talking about how race is a much less common reason for someone to be prejudiced than politics.

2018-05-21 10:00:13 UTC  

But also, like I said this video has a near 100% like/dislike ratio which means either it's being seen by a very select bubble because of youtube algorithms or the opinion that races should self-segregate is surprisingly popular.

2018-05-21 10:00:45 UTC  

What's tricky too is that she *is* right about a lot of things.

2018-05-21 10:01:04 UTC  

It's really her conclusions on what to do about it that I take serious issue with.

2018-05-21 10:09:42 UTC  

I think that people who see race as the big issue are more likely to think in terms of segregation, but I think that is a small group at the moment, even though I do think it has been growing due to certain people stoking the flames. hopefully it will die down eventually. And I think your last point sums up my feeling as well, and I think it's true of most identitarians. They see a certain problem, attribute it entirely to the "other", and come up with solutions that would divorce themselves from the perceived problem group.

2018-05-21 10:12:25 UTC  

There may be some truth to it though, especially in terms of Islam, but that is a cultural divide, not necessarily racial.

2018-05-21 10:15:04 UTC  

the idea that if we had only white people then the problems would just go away, is pretty naive.

2018-05-21 10:16:48 UTC  

sorry to break it to anyone who thinks otherwise, but segments of the white population are just as fucked up as any other group, and that has more to do with culture than anything else.

2018-05-21 11:54:33 UTC  

Got called a Eurocentrist for using the Term Middle East
