You aren't really doing yourself any favors here

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?

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

This exporting US culture shit has got to stop

We aren't talking about another mine worker. We are comparing 2 individuals with certain characteristics. You have instead decided to compare a third individual because the initial comparison made the concept break down

Just because someone is a certain color does not prescribe to them any specific value judgement. As soon as you do that, one of those categories becomes the ongoing scapegoat for everyone's problems, and it becomes fascist.

America has prejudicial issues at astonishing levels compared to the rest of the developed world. Obviously its an absurd statement to say there is no predujude abroad in the western world, but the US has the controlling stake in it, and happens to be an infectious cultural juggernaut.

I recognise that, I think it's important to make very clear distinctions with no sweeping statements when prescribing value to demographic groups.

This is a reasonable request

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.

Of course, I have first hand experience of it.

Now respond to what I said

[–] Dra -4 points 8 months ago (8 children)

I empathise with most of this and thank you for bothering to respond without resorting to 4chan energy.

The problem that remains unresolved is the refusal of some people to acknowledge that, like in science, observation is not without cost. What ends up happening is the observation of these trends then causes casualties of blame - in your example we could say the huge population of white people who dont fundamentally see black people in any light other than equal. An insult based on a black billionaire being a greedy billionaire gets called racially charged, when actually, it's entirely class based. This reliably means that (for example) white working class boys/girls are left to rot.

Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad, to the extent now that its difficult to untangle.

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
