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

(August 29, 2018 at 7:41 am)Khemikal Wrote: Racists depend on that frustration and resilience.  In the case of people who aren't committed racists (like Benny, I assume), but who have..for a variety of reasons and through a variety of channels, picked up racist talking points (like some sort of terrible osmosis, lol) I like to hold out hope and put in the time.

1)  Hired a bunch of black people.
2)  Particular people were irresponsible, shitty workers.  (one of them was arguably the best teacher I had this year)
3)  I directed irresponsible, shitty workers to be responsible, reasonably good workers (basic stuff like show up on time, actually check homework they've assigned, provide sick notes if claiming a sick day, etc.)
4)  Workers start telling me I don't know what it's like to be black, and Korea's such a hard place for them to be hired (???), and me asking them to bring a doctor's note if they were claiming a sick day was a "violation of their human rights, and how dare you, and. . . "

This isn't "picking up talking points," dude, no matter how much you want to keep spinning it that way.  The people involved clearly had a very well-established idea that certain demographic talking points were such all-overriding trump cards, that to attempt to hold a rational discourse once they'd been played was ITSELF an act of overt racism.  "Oh, I'm talking about my black suffering, and you are just going to keep on talking about doctor's notes, like you don't even CARE?  HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!?! *rage rage rage*" Not like I literally read through the entire fucking contract before signing everyone, and I very specifically explain the policy with sick days.

It's annoying AF.  And if expressing annoyance at fucktards who happen to be members of some demographic group dubbed "victim" by the PC left is legislated against, then we might as well just throw out the concept of truth altogether, because actual truth has been replaced by the Book of Allowable Truths™.
