Nobody's opposing the advocacy for social justice.  They're opposing the fuckery with which you throw everyone who doesn't align with you 100% under the umbrella of opposition.  They're opposing the use of highly-charged language as a deliberate attempt to control which social issues may / may not be discussed in the open light of day.
Are you everyone?  Are racists everyone?  Is scientific racism everything?  Is white victimization the sum total of all experience?

No, no..no..and no.  

You've been discussing this issue in the open light of day for pages and pages.  Whats the problem?  

Quote:I advocate for social justice too.  I mean. . . I advocated for the release of prisoners, and even threw in financial incentives as a way to help them get a fair start on life.  I advocated for health programs for poor kids (an idea which you, surprisingly, rejected because it wouldn't solve Real Racism™).  I even advocated takeovers of police stations, saying that black people had a constitutional right to bear arms against tyranny.
You do realize that all of those things can be simultaneously true with your having swallowed racist ideology, right?  

Quote:The problem is that because I am against the tactics of the PC Left, you declare me to be against the principles of the left.  This is a non-sequitur, and is very rude.  It's also going to prove ineffective-- do you really think marginalizing people like me is really going to help anything?

You aren't really against the tactics of the pc left.  You are -for- the picture of the pc left fed to you by alt right nitwits and those who've monetized them. I think that marginalizing some of the positions you've espoused will help..sure. Mostly in that the re-marginalization of those positions will devalue them as political currency. They've always been wrong, but being wrong never made them any less useful. It's a neverending task, because they just keep popping up with new names and new euphemisms every decade or so. They pop up within the left and the right, the whole race and iq and income thing has been around since the dawn of the eugenics movement. It was a progressive favorite before it became the conservative economic lodestar, lol. Much more recently, I could quote a bunch of Bill Clinton licking the hole of racist shitlords as he ambulated around to "winning" rightwing votes. It's a truly bipartisan effort, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
