That may have been the case during the 20th century, but as of 2019 that simplyisn't true. And I don't deserve to be punished based on my skin color because other white people in the past were racist. That is ridiculous and I do not bear the sins of other white people from 100 years ago. I...
This is a collectivist fallacy. There are many different groups of white people with varying degrees of priviledge. It doesn't mean we should just blanket them and treat them the same. Certain subsets of white people like Jews may in fact be advantaged but others are redneck trailer trash...
First of all i've never had a dominant position in western society and most white men haven't. Don't lump all white men together and treat us as a monolithic thing. Its a collectivist fallacy. Most white men have been poor as dirt and have barely had a nickel to their name. At the top 1% then...
The company I work for brags about how progressive it is. It has numerous advocacy groups including a native american group, an african american group, an asian group, a women group, a latino group, an lgbt group, a disabled group, etc. Basically any minority or supposedly oppressed group you...
How exactly was this generated? Where are your sources? How are you calculating the center offset? Who would be someone today on the farthest left? Also political leanings are relative anyways. So if you shift it based on the current political climate then the would get something more...
Lmao the democratic establishment is center right? What are you talking about? I mean AOC is relatively close to Carl Marx on the left. She wants pure unadulterated socialism.
And They aren't doing things that are beneficial for the people they represent so i don't see what your point is.
From the statements you literally quoted, I never said anybody in this thread said he's equivalent to Hitler. You even admitted you understood the hyperbole from the first comment. Its a clear continuation of the original hyperbole. The use of the word basically should also give that away...
The green new deal. The obsession with race, gender, sexuality, etc. I can find you many examples of here blatant identitarianism, particularly in the green new deal. She is a complete train wreck and the worst thing to happen to the democrats since Bill Clinton's well known issues.
Yes there absolutely are. Do you know who Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is? We have a growing number of communists and socialists on the left. i consider them super far left. You can also look at antifa. Also i don't even have cable but whether or not I watch fox news is an irrelevant red herring...
Because the regressive left is pretty radical. Have you seen antifa? have you looked at the green new deal and how insane it is? Its absolutely radical.
Which specific users here did I say compared him to hitler? I didn't point out any particular people. I mean saying "God its like people think he's Hitler or something" doesn't mean someone literally said that he's like Hitler. I don't see why you're having such a tough time with that. Its an...
Give it a rest. Nations are always in turmoil. During WW1 and WW2 your bible thumping counterparts were screaming the END IS NIGHT.
The fact of the matter is that modern day nations have way less turmoil than almost any point in history. I mean the bible says generic things like "There will be...
Sounds like a bunch of crocodile tears and 1st world problems. The yellow vests are doing something actually important. They're rejecting the bureaucracy and immigration from France and the EU. Its about time somebody complained. The bureaucracy gets more ridiculous all the time. With the latest...
The radical regressive left, most exemplified by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, has been supremely damaging for the democratic party. The amount of division she has sown is really hurting the democrats for the next election.
Where did all of these super far left democrats come from? What happened to...
Its an expression. I was never suggesting anyone besides me brought up Hitler. Just that your kind of intense emotion and language usually gets applied to people like Hitler or Stalin, etc.
No, I don't think its wrong. You can implement whatever outrage you want. I just think your outrage is...
Well what level/kind of healthcare are you talking about and who's going to pay for it? I mean you might be happy you have universal healthcare until you realize that 60% of your income is gone to taxes. Healthcare needs to become more efficient before we can consider universal healthcare. The...
Yeah it makes them trash but it doesn't mean I have to start going crazy and saying he's basically equivalent to Hitler. Its unnecessarily hysterical and its one of the problems I see in society today. People are eager to go from 0 to 60 in 0.1 seconds. Its the same thing as people calling Trump...
But the thing is, I was never arguing that the media always selects news for political reasons. And of course I was never arguing, as he/she was implying, that there shouldn't be news coverage of something unless it has a comparable impact to deaths from cancer. I also wasn't arguing that there...
Its an extremely small event relatively speaking. I mean when you think about it in the context that 100 times as many people die from choking each year, and that whole villages are being gunned down all over the world, this becomes barely noteworthy.
And this is the same over dramatic...
