Lol wut?

'Straight white male', this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about - replacing material analysis with standpoint theories and appeals to identity - it's toxic anti-thought.

Whats the point of even having a conversation with someone who has this style of logic - where the options are either agree with you or just be considered wrong not because of what I say but because i have the wrong kind of tackle in my pants, who i have sex with or because my skin tone doesn't match up with your scoreboard of truthfulness. Utter idiocy clearly fueled by an addiction to social media.

Trying to draw a link between what you believe and woman's suffrage is honestly laughable, seen as their argument was based on women being equal to men and to be listened to and taken seriously based on what they say not who they are - when the entire principles you seem to put forward rests on the complete opposite idea that the content of what someone says or thinks is irrelevant, all that matters is an arbitrary set of rules based on random things like skin colour or who you have sex with.

Anti-liberal identity politics just creates more problems in the world. It's already dying off because its so utterly cringey and that can't happen fast enough tbh.

So if we just talk about pizza toppings we'll solve racism?

This is unique madness that can only come from echo chambers

someone update the thread title to grumpy old men

80% of posters in this thread would start a sentence irl with "what it is right…"

Sorry i didnt go to whatever posh cunt prep school you did pal

Yeah, you know what, you're right it's obviously far more conducive to harmonious living to dig up every shred of difference or perceived historic injustice between people and relentlessly focus on that.

I assume then you're a straight, white male? It's a lot easier to ignore the marginalisation of groups within society when you're part of the least marginalised group in society. Maybe people who experience racism etc regularly don't have the privilege of getting to ignore it like you'd want.

Such a twitter-brained take. Why is there this obtuse idea that if anyone believes that performative groupthink idpol is counterproductive then they don't care about these issues?

Is it that difficult for you to get your head around the idea that some people think society's problems are best solved outside of the realms of narcissistic attention seeking on social media and popular entertainment?

Maybe if people actually cared about marginalised groups they'd mentor some people from them or do pro-bono work helping them, or go into schools in deprived areas and do some actual work trying to create opportunities for them..? Things which i have actually done plenty of and never once have any of the people i have interacted with in these situations said 'you know what mate, I'd rather you posted something on social media'.

Of all the work i have done in these areas the one thing that i find again and again is that whatever 'activists' are saying on twitter or putting into allegria art infographics is usually the total opposite of what most marginalised people actually want.
