Let's be honest. The only reason why I fight against people is VERY simple:
- Most people here are idealistic
(as in opposition to historical materialists)
> Which prevents them from understanding or accepting the 90% of what I'm actually saying (
except for Blax who, for some reasons, shortcircuited radical leftism with religion without even being materialist)
- Most people here consider social sciences as legit sciences
> Which prevents people from accepting what I say as basic factual rethoric.
Define white supremacy and why being against DEI entails it.
White supremacy is a domination system that derives from systemic racism and capitalism that considers that white people are in everyway superior to racialized groups of population.
White supremacy creates a system called "whiteness", which is a non verbal social contract that will basically say that no matter the social class under capitalism, a non racialized person will have a superior social status than a racialized one. Which in return pushes racialized people to seek the acceptations on society (for ex, Fanon explains how subjegated people under colonization where systematically pushed to adopt the colonist mindset to be assimilated by the metropole and extract themselves from the oppression of colonist and imperialism as a whole.
BEing against DEI means refusing the factual observation that white supremacy and therefore systemic racism are the social backbone of western society. It's an invisibilization of a domination system and by consequences a perpetuation of oppression as... if we treat oppressed and non oppressed people the same way, people who don't live oppression will ALWAYS be favorized by the system.
DEI is meant to return equity. Badly in the case of america, but it's still a necessity.
I can see why you're interested in calling racism is a system, because this allows you to in a top-down fashion condemn millions of ordinary people inside this system (whether they have a choice or not)
Me defining racism is a specific way limits your ability to weaponized this term against those you disagree with
It's no "me".
It's a scientific affirmation based on two centuries of observation and researches.
Your vision of racism is idealist. This means that Racism is just a result of bad behavior. But that's not how social structure work in reality. My approach in materialist. It takes systems of domination into account.
I don't have to. His words are public, you have to search for them. It's you who has to prove that he was a good guy, not the other way around.
His rethoric is racist, sexist, homophobic, and he cheered for a genocide. So the guy was a fascist.
Except he didn't merely say gays are his friends, he said Conservative should embrace gays into the movement
Yeah. WHile explaining that the bible says that gay should be stoned to death. Fuck him.
Pretty much yeah
Friendship requires good will and altruism, if you are trying to oppress someone are they actually your friend?
Kinda why this leftist canard when you show so called racists and homophobes engaging in contradictory behavior doesn't work.
Friendship requieres the knowledge of the oppression that your friends are facing. In the case of gay people it's heteronormativity and patriarchy, in the case of brown people it's systemic racism.
This guy (and you) have no knowledge about this and are defending racist point of view, therefore no matter how many black or gay friends you have or him, you are still participating in their oppression.
(you cannot be race blind meritocratic and fascist)
HE was not race blind, he was a white supremacist. And fascism is a spectrum it's not 1 or 0, and this guy was a fascist. Stop defending this piece of turd.
It's not racism.
Now that is different from saying meritocracy is not racial, it is racial because it will highlight differences in performance between races because equality is a myth.
However there are systems that are racist fundamentally, meritocracy is race-blind.
Yes it is. Indirectly and sometimes directly.
But to understand -
AGAIN - you need to look at how social sciences picture meritocracy and domination systems such as racism
