People who pretend they're complete angels who have no prejudices are the worst, piss off you beep boop noob. Humans have emotions and reactions to trauma which aren't always ideologically correct to weenie liberals, oh no!

Jonah Galtberg posted:I guess it boils down to whether someone who is not being oppressed feels comfortable in telling the people that are being oppressed whether or not their reactions are justified. It seems that you do. Because I understand the concept that hatred only breeds more hatred? Sure, let's go with your way though. I mean, you have no idea of my background, race or culture. You have no idea if I've been oppressed before for any quality of my person. As someone who was bullied for a physical disability throughout my childhood and teenage life, does that mean any reaction I have would be justified? Of course not. Do I resent what happened? Totally, yes. Do I resent the people, who acted out of ignorance and peer pressure? Yes, to a degree. Does that justify any hatred or action I would take out on an able bodied "healthy" person for their actions? Never.

No one needs to know your background to decide that you're posting dumb liberal claptrap, they just need to read your posts. You are focusing on the perceived impropriety of reactions to trauma rather than the systems and power structures that cause that trauma. It is ridiculous and a tool of oppression and capital hth.

Obviously people do hate other people and it would be stupid of me to think otherwise. I am a woman; I do not think that all men are evil or that all men are inherently sexist (that would be counter-productive of me), but that does not mean that I do not believe that institutional sexism is a thing. I am white. I don't think it's okay for anyone to be racist against anyone, but this does not mean I do not believe I have been afforded priveleges because I'm white, nor am I blind to institutional racism and racial oppression. I try to be aware of my prejudices and resist those where I can. There is a maxim in the law of equity that says "One who seeks equity must do equity". I seek equality/equity on behalf of my gender. I believe I must also treat other people with equality/equity regardless of their background. If you believe differently, that is your prerogative, but I respectfully disagree.

If IWC wants to be a woman then there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and I applaud her bravery. I just don't want her posting here. Because she is IWC.

White people have historically attempted to enslave other people who are not white and are therefore bad. Sources: being white, English heritage, Dutch heritage.

CrazyTolradi posted:Because I understand the concept that hatred only breeds more hatred? Sure, let's go with your way though. I would posit that you weren't bullied enough to understand the resentment a systemically oppressed group of people would possess against their oppressors. It's all well and good to loftily say that hatred not a good thing for either side of the oppression, but until both sides are actually equal - as in treated equally and having equal opportunity - there's going to be justifiable resentment from the group that's been hosed over. CrazyTolradi posted:Like my mother would yell at my brother and I when we were fighting, "I don't care who started it, you can both bloody stop it now, thank you.". Not exactly very eloquent, but it does get the point across. A more appropriate analogy would be if your mother spent your entire life giving everything to your brother and him and your mother doing everything they can to keep you down, then when you're old enough to leave home with no money, education or support, saying "ok we'll stop making GBS threads on you now, no hard feelings". Would you not be justifiably resentful?

Someone on a UQ Facebook group is now trying to justify this by saying: quote:"We can celebrate the fact nobody is dying at sea anymore thanks to the new policies that we were all told was impossible to do. Cant we celebrate the fact lives are being saved?" Instead they're dying in detention.

Look at that step between 51-65 and 65+. Generational impact, anyone? Are there any good contemporary books/blogs/ramblings about the liberal voting base, and why they get so much of the vote? I have genuine trouble understanding why and how, and I feel this is a critical thing to understand in our Lucky Country.

A lot of people from around eighteen to mid twenties have memories of Howard as a child and since you're a dumb kid you think everything is right and good and if you stay dumb you think things like "the Liberals are a good party". Old people are racist. Sources: friends, family.

It takes a special type of toxic ideology to go from having a parliamentary majority of ~9:1 to polling around even stevens 2 years and 2 weeks later.
