It's not obvious? Because white males as a demographic are the most privileged people on the planet and not coincidentally also the ones most prone to petty, oblivious arrogance, tantrum-throwing, and egotistical man-splaining. The latter was demonstrated by the one in this NASA scientist's anecdote.

This robs people of their individual context. The UK Prime Ministers wife is Indian and astonishingly privileged. You are suggesting a poor mine worker from Romania is somehow more privileged based on how he looks.

Lumping people into loose categories (particularly based on skin colour) and then prescribing loose values to them is fascist and racist.

youre deliberately misinterpreting the concept of intersectionality, it includes class.

[–] Dra -2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I'm not deliberately mistinterpreting anything, if I don't understand something, then explain it to me.

Incredibly privileged of you to assume everyone else has your spoilt middle class educational background

You're posting to a niche reddit-clone that you only could've reliably found out about through either reddit, twitter, or mastodon. You have access to Google, you disingenuous twit.

[+] Dra -6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not relevant, it's not my job to Google your arguments that I don't know exist. If you wish to correct me on something, please do!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

LOOK IT THE FUCK UP WHEN YOU'RE CALLED ON FUNDAMENTALLY MISUNDERSTANDING SOMETHING RATHER THAN BEING A REDDITOR PEDANT, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DO YOU NEED TYING YOUR SHOES EXPLAINED TO YOU THE SAME WAY??????

Y'know what, since I can't even trust you to do that right at this point, have a link for it! https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=intersectionalism

Getting emotional because you are impotent to communicate your thoughts on a topic isn't condusive to anyone understanding your point of view.

Now, without being unstable or abusive, please try again

Please get fucked with your smuggard guero ass. If "emotions" make it hard for you to parse an easily-grokable concept, you might have a disorder you need to get diagnosed, you empathy-lacking toad.

“Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.” -- Kwame Ture

You are very emotionally unstable, particularly nasty towards people with certain disorders. Do you think you are superior to them?

Someone with such lacking such basic self control should not be telling people how to run the world, you can barely handle a lemmy comment that doesn't immediately conform to your interpretation of your worldview.

I don't lack empathy at all, I just know how to separate emotional involvement from rational conversation, like an adult.

Violence is not, and has never been the answer. If you are fundamentally empathetic, you will always lose to someone who lacks empathy. They are much better at committing harm to others.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Certainly superior to you, you ~~settler~~ apparently a fuckin minstrel waste of time. The better part of you ran out of your mother on the night of your conception, and in all honesty, she probably should've swallowed you. Maybe this world wouldn't be so ugly. I'm not interested in debating a son of colonizers and genocidal ghouls; clearly that's ALL that comprises you.

[–] Dra 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm indigenous to my country. You need to take your high school facism and go and see a therapist.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Then stop minstreling for the crackers. Til then, I don't fuckin believe you.

[–] Dra -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You aren't really doing yourself any favors here

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Thank you for your service, brave truth teller! Truly, the world is saved thanks to you!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A lemmy.zip user being an enormous ignorant tool?!! What? How could this happen!!?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Christ on a goddamned stick, I don't know why I even try bothering with those worthless colonizer stains. Might as well try explaining sociology to a goddamn dog.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Dogs have empathy so they'd be much easier to teach tbh

Incredibly privileged of you to assume everyone else has your spoilt middle class educational background

berdly-actually uhm, actually, it is in fact YOU who is the privileged one in this scenario, no I. check, and furthermore, mate

smuglord

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

if I don't understand something, then explain it to me.

ok so you have deliberately removed as many brain cells as possible from your brain, understood

[–] Dra -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you really think that you know all there is to know? Perhaps I know something that you don't, but you don't know what it is. What then?
