I don't know what other people do, but I wonder why I would need to turn the tables on some losing argument in this thread. Has there been a single point at which you haven't been utterly and inescapably wrong?The mandate of the PC Left is to protect some demographic groups from others. They've identified groups of victimhood, and those of oppressorship. I wouldn't even say that overall this isn't well-intended. But if you don't think that straight white rich Christian males aren't vilified as a group, then you might not think the sun is yellow, either.
As for points in which I "haven't been utterly and inescapably wrong," I'd say that 100% of my points meet that criterion. You, obviously, disagree. I think you are wrong to do so.
Quote:I'll point out again that the white victimization complex, and even more specifically the white victimization complex as it relates to lefist politics, political correctness, and social justice..... is the normalizing language of white supremacy. It depends on people not realizing that the individual complaints are factually inaccurate, and even more importantly it depends on people not realizing that it's the normalizing language of white supremacy.Well, I've never claimed white victimhood. This is your straw man, and your attempt at guilt by association of ideas. I say anything that even remotely sounds like I'm both (a) white; and (b) discontent with any interactions with black people (or gay people or whatever), and you are perfectly satisfied to generalize that specific complaint to some sort of over-arching complex. But that is exactly the point, isn't it, that that's what the PC Left do?
Quote:Your anxiety as regards what the pc left, sj, or any random "leftist extremist" is doing is deeply and plainly informed by that language, as is petersons, and is wholly wrong - as demonstrated by every single example in this thread. People like Peterson provide intellectual cover through their irrelevant (and suspect) credentials..whereas folks like yourself provide emotional and social cover by earnest rejection of any suggestion that they might have inadvertently picked up this position. Everyone, ofc..is just telling it like it is.My anxiety is about the effect of irresponsible and bad workers doing damage to my business-- not because they are black, or gay, or left-wing, but because they are using their identity demographics as an excuse not to do what is right-- according to the terms of a contract which they've signed.
This is all working as intended.
That you keep trying to make this about demographics is YOUR thing, not mine. The point of PC is this demographic view, and I have very consistently argued in favor of individual merit and responsibility as the metric that should matter.
