I watched this "X made me racist" post fly straight to the front page on imgur

which is full of comments like "stereotypes exist for a reason, this one time I met a black person and they were TOTALLY RUDE" and then this made the front page too

"Someone didn't just make them up one day"

Surely no one in history has ever just "made up" things about other races, nationalities or any other thing. :cripes: At least the comment section calls this one out for its bullshit.

I've seen it argued that instinctive racism is some form of genetic memory thing to warn us of the dangers of dark skinned people due to the negative encounters of our ancestors.

Which was especially ironic since the people claiming it were all Swedish and once you back 60 years or so an overwhelming majority of Swedish ancestry is

"got born on farm, grew potatoes on farm, had children on the farm, died at the farm"

Rinse and repeat for about elev hundred years. There were no imported slaves or civil rights movement. All major invasions were done by nearby neighbors (Which explains genetic memory bias against the Danish)


Edit: gently caress Denmark.

I have an expression I use as a tongue-in-cheek thing towards actual bigots: "it ain't prejudice if it's true!"

And not to seem like a bigot, but it actually holds up when I apply it towards racists; I think of them as idiots, and it turns out to be true!

This happened today. This was on a "facebook memory" from last year, because apparently Lou Sinclark was proud enough of her misogyny last year to remind everyone.

Which is what triggered me to touch the poop.

Lou Sinclark is a woman I know, who posts a lot of feminist articles and stuff along that line. Most of them are about bodily autonomy, personal choice, etc.

I'm Ray Diation/Green (social fixer missed a couple) and yeah, I'm not a woman. But she's doing exactly what she's usually arguing against, here. If she'd even bothered to respond with any form of reasoning I'd feel differently, but this smacks of claiming one's own prejudices as above reproach.





Am I wrong to think this is very irritatingly hypocritical? Am I in the wrong here?

There's really no point in having any further conversation with someone who has made it clear they will not listen for causes you had no control over and can't change. It doesn't matter whether or not you're "in the wrong".

You're right on that, and I stopped responding unless she replies again, but she's not going to.

It just doesn't make any sense to me that I've read and gleaned ideas from her articles previous to this, ones that I'm using as tools here, but they're being denied because I'm not a woman. Who were all those articles for? They weren't to educate me on feminism, apparently. Would she value this argument from a woman? Why/why not?

It just makes me sad that that's where this is at. She's concluded she's a bastion of feminism, but she's actually just a slut-shamer.

Oh well.

I mean, what you could have started out with was quoting a relevant previous article she posted and asking her how she reconciles the two, but at this point it's too late.

That's a good point. I was hoping the language was enough to get the point across, but nah. I'm not good at tactics, I just assume people will see obvious logical lapses when they're pointed out to them, but I'm not sure how I still have that idea after decades of internet.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Not to mention the endless infighting over different subgenres of lolita fashion, and which brands are or aren't authentic lolita and all kinds of drama to rival even the most insular online communities. I had no idea that it was still a thing tbh, I thought they all grew up eventually.
