Blue Star posted:Sounds like another "political correctness gone mad" opinion piece. I don't buy it. Oppressed people do not have to take the feelings of oppressors into account, nor should they. Most men are misogynist. White people are racist. Sorry if that hurts somebody's feelings. You can never swing too wide with the sword of justice. Kill them all and let God sort them out.

katlington posted:Like anything wide spread or popular, people are going to jump on board but get it wrong and take things in weird directions. This is because assuming the facade of something with momentum is cheap, but actually balancing the line between minimum emotional capital invested and quick-burn/viral fadism takes a lot of work. This is why parties co-opt issues that have grassroots momentum rather than actually use their power for anything other than gaining and maintaining more power.

SedanChair posted:You seem to have conservatism confused with decency. Conservatives are all about using fear and shame against women, in work, school, home and chance encounters. I always get the feeeling that, at least the modern 'merican version of it, conservatism came from at least a sense of being better than the 'other'. It could be morally better, better 'class' better taste, better use of time, just better. Government can't do better with my money than I can. Government shouldn't do anything to my business because I know better. This isn't purely binary but tends to follow certain exclusionary groupings that radiate outward from their egocentric view of the world.

Give up Left. You can't win. We have the (moral) high ground. *The Left screams with rage trying only to get its legs caught off and fall into lava*
