Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

So..discrimination, stigmitization and denial of pride.  Check and check.

I'm sure they do.  

Quote:Were the things I said about Tiz and cultural appropriation "their script?"   Was the talk about the best way to release prisoners "their script"?  Was sitting down and doing the actual math on a $15 minimum wage and then suggesting greater financial incentives for released prisoners "their script?"

No, and here's the thing.  I can agree with 90% of what you think, and disagree with 10%, but that 10% automatically constitutes an association with alt-right nutjobs, and instantly bars me from inclusion in the PC Left.  That is, quite precisely, because a religious view tolerates no heresy.  So you can talk about me being indoctrinated, but I'd recommend you try holding up a mirror first.
Tell me more about your self esteem and how this all makes you feel.  Might wanna throw in a few comments about the attempted abrogation of your free speech rights, as well.

4/5 aint bad.

Hey, at least you're not going full white genocide , right? All of this clearly stems from your frustration at being associated with alt-right positions and politics, specifically, the white supremacy that's made it's way back into the mainstream over the past 30 years or so. Who's doing the associating, I have to ask? Me for pointing out how effective their narrative framing has been, both generally and in your individual case? Or you.....for reading their script?

Here's a real head scratcher, when you tell me that you "met a guy" who pulled the race card on you. I wonder whether you interact and communicate with people beyond the boards in a manner similar to the way you interact and communicate on the boards. If so.....I can make an obvious suggestion as to why you might feel as though people associate you with those positions and that ideology, why you field complaints about The Man and The Unfairness of it All...

..and it's not because of the color of your skin or because you're being harassed.

Ultimately, I don't think that you fuck with white supremacy, but it's clear that you sympathize with the case they make and..honestly, that's far more important to white supremacy as a cultural or political movement (or component in either). It's really unlikely that a person who isn't deeply racist to their core is ever going to go to the lilly white darkside. So, it becomes important to form sanitized ideological associations through allies. It's still not okay to be a white supremacist, so they need non-white supremacists to sell the white victimization complex. Which you do, unfailingly.
