He is an individual that enjoys this sort of discourse. He will always have something to say regardless.
That's not it, because I also enjoy it (sometimes) and like to argue on it.
He just refuses to be wrong, no matter what.
Even if you tell him 1+1 = 2, he'd walk the earth trying to find a way to prove it's actually 3.
It's not that he enjoys to argue, he just enjoys to feel correct, no matter if he actually is correct.
 
What do you think I mean when I say overly ghetto black people?
I mean the people who act like walking stereotypes. They loot, they participate in gang violence, they dress inappropriately, take very poor care of their kids, etc.
Those types of ghetto black people are a genuine problem. Do you think it's good parenting for your child to be on the internet saying he'll have 8 children and an ugly girlfriend while doing almost nothing to improve his life and purposefully stay in a dangerous and run down environment?
Saying that they're forced into it because of a systemically racist society removes all individuality, intelligence and free will from these people. I know several black men that are relatively good men- They love their wives and children, raised their children right, are in a safe neighbourhood, don't participate in any criminal activity, etc.
Not everyone HAS to cave to societal pressure and bigotry. A lot of people just CHOOSE to do so.

I never said there's anything wrong with feminism. I myself advocate for feminism and have found my self completely agreeing with feminists on several occasions. All I said is that it's fine to criticize a woman if she says something weird, i.e "It's fine for a woman to hit a man". That's highly abusive behavior and spreading it around can be dangerous for everyone, ESPECIALLY if it's done towards a man who has no self control or desire to simply restrain her and goes straight to WAILING on her in defense.
It's not bad to call such a thing out considering how it doesn't help neither men or women whatsoever. If you were really as politically aware as you claimed, you would know that treating women like princesses is the exact behavior that feminism is against. If you yearn for equality so badly, then apply that to basically everything. Don't put either gender on a pedestal in any case.
Wait if you’re just living in an unsafe area how is that bad

Everyone has to live somewhere.

“Several black men are RELATIVELY good people. I mean they have a wife and kids and live in my neighborhood!” The reason we think you’re racist is every good person gets swept up in your “overly ghetto black people” shit and then just “not dressing right” has you making judgements like “look how ghetto these black guys are. Reee why can’t I talk about what a problem they are. I mean I even have black friends.” Well, plenty of people might be from the “ghettos,” some might have family or friends there, and they plain disagree with you that “we need to talk about how these overly ghetto black kids aren’t speaking right” or whatever and think your focusing on that issue is weird. Why do we need to talk about how reeee this black kid is sagging or whatever in a one piece server? Wtf? And go to some rural white kids lmfao ever play Xbox live

And can you name some specific things you’ve been called misogynist over? Usually it will be called out when you make comments about how “women do this or that.” If it’s about like “equal rights equal fights” or whatever, it can be quite justifiably scary for a woman to hear a male friend say if a woman hits him he will gladly hit her back. Even if “justified” most will probably fear you more if they know you wouldn’t do it just because you don’t want to cause serious harm.
 
Now now hold on


You are treading on a thin line of passing verdict of guilty by association.


Voting Trump or any leader doesn't equate to full ideological alignment or affiliation.

There could be swing voters, conservatives, voters who particularly vote based on one aspect like economy or inflation, there could be moderate right leaning voters.


Calling them all "the far right" is exactly the generalization I was talking about.
I would've agreed with you after he got elected in his first term. But being a person that tripled Trump is obviously part of the far right. Bro is a convicted criminal and unquestionably the most corrupt president in the history of the country.

I know. But saying that you'll purposefully live in a bad area because you think it's actually a land of opportunity is a very poorly thought out statement.
Trying to argue that I'm racist because I call out certain black people for being genuinely terrible people is like saying I'm sexist because I call out the men that beat their wife and kids.

I specifically said I don't condone men who would hit a woman (assuming it's not an especially strong woman who's strong enough to even the playing field). Please stop with this.

Did you want to talk to logiko or did you want logiko to tell you you’re right and ensure that their beliefs change and yours don’t

You didn’t say 1+1=2, talking about “overly ghetto black people” isn’t an objective thing, it’s a matter of opinion on your and their side. You can’t pretend it is such a logical based question. As an outsider you have your own issues with communication.
 
This sort of approach makes people close off to whatever you have to say.
There is no win possible with you guy.

If I don't say anything, people use me as insults
If I say simple stuff, people ignore it.
If I say "I can't consider someone a ally" I get criticized
If someone say "well explain it" and I do, I get criticized
If someone criticize me defnding myself, I get criticized
If I explain that I'm not here to win, but to stop actual harmfull rethoric, I get criticized

Am I even the problem here?

:catsure:

Type "you are right" and the name logiko in the research bar please.

Obviously he's not going to agree with me on everything, knowing how he is. I just want him to actually give good arguments for his beliefs rather than just constantly saying "Hmmm well I understand it but YOU don't! So there's no point in me trying to convince you on this, I'm right and you're wrong, that's it!

Maybe a little bit more introspection would do you some good.

No one is insulting you right now.
 
I'm racist too, I'm not making a fuss about it. Knowing that we are racist because we live in a racist system and doing something about it instead of refusing to aknowledge it are two very different thing.


Knowing what I know rather*

It's not about who I am, it's about the knowledge that made me who I am.


Hmmm well I understand it but YOU don't! So there's no point in me trying to convince you on this, I'm right and you're wrong, that's it!
I can't explain something you don't understand to you without showing you that you don't understand the point. You factually don't understand the point. This is not a relative matter here.

It's like me explaining to you that you don't understand the fact that the earth is round and showing you why. How do you expect me to explain it to you without showing you that your current vision of the world is not correct ?

I just want him to actually give good arguments
I did, you completely ignored it.

Do a simple thing : Go to chatgpt (I don't care if you have never tried it before, create an account), and ask it this:

"Please, vulgarize to me the sociologic concept of WHITENESS based on leftist materialist thinking, with sources please" > I'm doing that know because it's much more easy to explain. I gave you everything you need to understand my point.


Maybe a little bit more introspection would do you some good.

No one is insulting you right now.
It's all I have been doing since my return here.

Maybe it would be good for everyone else to start too. Don't you think ?

You think young people who think the area they grew up in is a “land of opportunity” are “legitimately terrible people?” I think it might be a misguided belief. It’s because you lump together that and not dressing right with “men who beat their wives and kids” that people may think differently. And honestly, most people won’t want to watch whatever “check out this YouTube video of this guy talking about how this group of minorities is bad” and will experience involuntary revulsion at it

I know you said that. Please chill. I was confused by the “If you yearn for equality so badly, then apply that to basically everything. Don't put either gender on a pedestal in any case.“ I was merely trying to point out I think that attitude is scarier than you realize. Put yourself in a woman’s shoes, when she wants to vote and work and be respected as an equal and you jump to these arguments it would probably only embolden her. Like there are dudes who would be like “oh yeah you wanna be equal but still want the man to open your pickle jar???” And I’m not saying you are that, I’m saying that association is what gets you called misogynist regardless of what you may believe.

I am posting to promote understanding. You are not innocent here with jumping to post about how the person who said that thing about you are exhausting or whatever. Not “not innocent” as in “you meant to act in a way that wasn’t ideal,” but you yourself engage in making judgements about people who respond to your post from the jump and it influences how they interact with you, and I doubt you came off as the most understanding to them either.
 
They were saying that they have unconscious biases and try to recognize that

In my experience acting like we don’t hold any problematic thoughts or feelings if we consciously disagree with them is foolish.

For example, who is more likely to pass racist legislation: a politician who says that they can never be racist or a politician who says they recognize they can have biases. I’d expect the guy who thinks he can never be racist to not realize possible implications of a policy, while the other guy who recognizes it would be more likely to seek outside perspectives.

It’s the difference between for example like “i think of a sweeping judgement about Mexicans, and I know I can hold racist biases from my upbringing and society, so I’ll rethink the logic and recognize that no, people are different individuals.” And “I think a sweeping judgement about Mexicans, and I’m not racist, so this guys probably a criminal!” At least that’s the school of thought

It's not the kid I'm mad at, he doesn't know any better. It's the parent's fault for letting that happen to their kid, and that's my point.
You're both proving my point here. I say "The specific group of black people, which obviously isn't all of them (not even half of them it seems), that loot and kill people and what not are horrible." and I'm deemed a racist.
I say "Women who say things like 'It's fine to hit a man as a woman' are weird and very problematic" and I'm deemed a misogynist.
This is the entire problem nowadays. You can not say that an oppressed group can still be bad in any way because if you do you're instantly a bigot who wants that group to suffer and hates all of them. I even specifically said that equality applies to "basically" everything and that got misconstrued as well. Obviously equality doesn't apply to things like men hitting women as men are typically stronger than women and thus should go for a gentler approach like trying to simply restrain the woman so as to not be preying on a person weaker than they are. That isn't the point.
My point is that equality should be applied in cases where a woman is doing something that a man would easily be hated for, and people choose not to hold that woman accountable just because women are oppressed.
Infantilizing oppressed groups and treating them as though they're angels is arguably far more prejudiced/bigoted than anything I've ever said or done.

I just said I’m posting to promote understanding, and was pointing out how your WORDING gets to people. Yes, you do have some control over how people react to you. You are now paraphrasing, but I’m saying yes calling them ghetto as fuck or whatever did influence people’s reaction to you. Posting a video with a bogeyman clickbait “here’s a le obese black lady” didn’t predispose people to react well to you. You are still lumping a lot together. “This specific group of black people that’s not even half…. That loots and KILLS or whatever” is a massive generalization, you just don’t realize it.

You went off on logiko for never being willing to be wrong but this post doesn’t speak to you being very calm and understanding.

I don’t think i or logiko has infantilized or treated anyone like an angel here.
