Re: Political correctness run amok
I wanted to reply to something in particular that Brute wrote about hypothetical employers hypothetically choosing to underpay black vs Asian employees. I immediately thought of that study of how white-sounding named applicants (Beth) got 50% more callbacks than black-sounding named applicants (Lak...

Re: White supremacy run amok
@Brute: Well, I am pretty sure I also said the left-right economic dynamic tends to be predictive as to the other dynamics (and if I didn't, I should have), and that I was talking in broad political theory terms, specifically not US terms (whereas admittedly the opposite is true now). I also seem to...

Re: White supremacy run amok
@Riggerjack: Just as a thought experiment, can you imagine ways your life may have been harder if you hadn't been a (straight) white (male) person? If you were born in the same circumstances, but to black parents, or Muslim parents? Or perhaps if you had been born gay? Do you think any events or exp...

"And I have to ask myself if race is X percent correlated to poverty, but poverty is 100 percent correlated to poverty, why we are talking about race. If race is X percent correlated with privilege, and class is 100 percent correlated to privilege, why we are talking about race." Comrade R...

Re: White supremacy run amok
@distracted The section I quoted has two references that highlight ongoing debate on the intentionality of the famine. Regardless, I have no stance on the events at all beyond what I described regarding what we know of these regimes being filtered through propaganda on their side and our side. It's ...

Here's what the mother of Heather Heyer had to say about Trump equivalating her daughter to the white nationalists who murdered her.

Re: White supremacy run amok
Look, a nuanced take that shreds the idea that fascists and anti-fascists are equivalent in either moral purpose, capability or intent for violence, or threat to the fabric of liberal society, while also lending support to the idea that violent reactions play into the top kek trolling of the fascist...

"Holodomor" Mismanagement is not genocide, "debate among historians is ongoing and there is no international consensus among scholars or governments on whether the Soviet policies that caused the famine fall under the legal definition of genocide." url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

We could also answer the question of what would happen if the capitalists left their positions by looking to reality instead of libertarian wank fiction.

Uh-oh, more PC run amok, advocating confronting racists on their racism. Guess they'll all have to become Nazis now. The poor snowflakes.

Re: White supremacy run amok
See, you can claim violent reactions aren't the best course, and there may be validity to that. It's the implications from the likes of Trump, libertarian "Sargon of Akkad", and seemingly many here, that "both sides" are morally equivalent and that both want violence--these are t...

Re: White supremacy run amok
@Campitor: Re: automation No no, you misunderstand. Automation of labor is good--wonderful! It's also IMO a permanent and accelerating trend, as I believe history shows. I have no interest in and no belief in the possibility of reversing it. The question, then, is how to deal with its effects. So my...

Re: Political correctness run amok
@7Wannabe5: I'm sure Hitler was quite unhappy about many things, including his own loserdom, which drove him to find a scapegoat for the loserdom of himself and everyone else in economically cratered Germany. He found that scapegoat in imaginary Jewish persecution. I don't dispute that our new Nazis...

@Brute: I don't know how deeply I want to get into this argument as it seems to be getting into the weeds from the original topic, but it seems like most people think the whole conversation is just stinking up the joint anyway, so I guess I'll go where it takes us. I'll start by acknowledging that b...

Re: White supremacy run amok
Still finding it hilariously ironic how intent everyone here seems to be on bullying me into silence.
But free speech for Nazis, yeah.
Oh, and how dare you oppress me with your political correct demands that I not say anything that make you uncomfortable.
