    I know this is a shitpost. But think of it this way, if a white person moves to a new place, then what are the chances that they are discriminated for their skin color? It’s not a guarantee either way but you have a way higher chance of being white being a benefit. That’s privilege. It doesn’t mean you can’t experience bad things or not be discriminated against.

          funny how if you guys do personal insults, it’s no problem, but if I were to offer insults back, it would be a bannable offense. almost like you can’t handle the truth lol

            I apologize for the ad hominems you’ve been receiving, clearly your opinions aren’t welcome here. But to be fair we get the same attacks used against us by your kind (for example your ad hominem memes against president Biden).

            Allow me to offer a logical antithesis instead:

            The injustices and historical oppression of minorities resulted in an economic situation less favorable than the majority. To treat the two groups equally, we must first restore the socio-economic situation to a point of equity, which necessarily involves helping those who were previously held back.

            Only then can we begin treating both groups equally, when everyone starts at the same level. This is where the idea of “white privilege” comes from - minorities were repressed for over 2 centuries, resulting in an economic disadvantage not so distinctly present within the majority. This is of course generalisation (there are examples of poor cis-het white males and rich minorities), but these outliers are the exception to the general data trend of an evident inequality.

            Do you have a better proposal, other than leaving the economic gap between the majority and minorities as is to resolve itself (which would likely take centuries if it happens at all)?

              He actually has a point… feeding him insults is what the kind of people want. Just tear down their opinions with solid, painfully truthful logic… it’s the only way to fight the cult, I know how they operate.

                Logic doesn’t work either, because then they switch back to insults and/or use intentionally broken logic to justify their own hate. You cannot reason with someone who has built their entire personality on illogical fallacies and hate.

                The best reaction is no reaction at all. No votes, no comments, just rapid, silent bans that let the troglodytes scream their hate into the void, completely and utterly irrelevant to the rest of society as they fade into obscurity. That’s what really hurts them. Isolation and loneliness and completely forgotten, just like the basement they post from.

                  I agree for the majority of cases, but a few have shown that they can argue logically, albeit with faulty premises. Will showing their fallacies convince them to change their mind? No. But it might help prevent others from being sucked into it. We must show they’re wrong with logic, or others might wonder why we censor them, and start giving them a chance without seeing the fallacies it’s built on.

              ah yes, you would like to ban me for not breaking any rules but having a different opinion. pretty funny when you stop and consider how fragile that makes you seem. 😘
