Lately a friend has been streaming old Rodney Dangerfield movies
Back to school
Is WSJ right leaning?
Lol no
Their PewDiePie article was downright soylent
WSJ is super left
They spread the "Pewdiepie is a nazi" shit
Why are they calling the left hateful and blowing them up for trying to create enemies?
Cos they probably hired someone with common sense
Watching tim's "left is consumed with hate" video: I don't think racism is a moral issue.
think the same about the other commonly mentioned "isms".
I think the WSJ thing was an opinion piece. Not sure though.
idk, i just know that a lot of people think racism, sexism, etc. is a moral issue. I don't.
I’d say there is a moral component but it only goes so far. Question is where the line is drawn.
What moral component?
I'll give you an example of what I am saying. Let's say I said all blue people are morons. Is that a moral issue or just an information issue? Is it any different than me saying 2+2=5? If so, how?
Hurting someone’s feeling is not a moral issue.
Physical harm is.
So yesterday on the way to university I noticed tons of propaganda posters around the city centre
Phyiscal harm is a moral issue? Well, I could disagree with that as well, however it's a bit off topic. What does physical harm have to do with racism?
In a highly-ethnic area there were posters saying "BLACK AND WHITE, UNITE AND FIGHT" from a UK communist group
And there were anti-Brexit posters pretty much next to my university, which is an all music place, saying "Musicians and artists will struggle after Brexit"
If you are beating people up because of their race it’s a moral issue based on race.
Why?
I think the moral issue of racism comes from the fact it's innately wrong to mistreat people superficially
Is beating people up the thing that is bad? Is it because of their color that makes it bad?
Or for superficial factors, rather
Beating people up is bad, obviously, but there's sometimes exonerating factors e.g. self-defence
sure,
Beating someone up because of their race means the reason isn't a valid one since their race alone isn't an indicative factor of anything
So, if beating people up is bad, is it worse if you do so because of color instead of some other reason?
No, it's still bad. It's an escalation from expressing incorrect beliefs to outright violence,
Not necessarily.
Like, if i beat up a pink person, if I beat them up because they are pink is that any worse than if i beat them up because I was bored?
No, both make you a shitty person
It's just one means you're uneducated and one means you're a psychopath, as far as I can see
For the action of beating people up, right?
Yeah
So, where is the moral component of racism?
to be a racist is it required to beat up people of other colors?
