A Few Days Ago, I Made A Mistake

[The Architect Of Fate]

Nope, you're attacking the position, not the person. You're attacking the job not the person doing it. All cops are evil is an indictment of the organization not the people in it. So no I'm not attacking white cops, black cops, Asian cops, Algerian cops, Buddhist cops, vegan cops, I'm attacking the position wholly apart from those attributes.

I’m confused. Earlier, you said one can’t be bigoted against an occupation. Now, you say you’re attacking the position. Are you differentiating between ‘occupation’ and ‘position’?

Whether you are or not, I fail to see how it helps your argument. With very rare exceptions (dog units, police robots), cops are human beings. I’m not aware of a Platonic ideal of ‘police officer’. How can you attack the position of ‘cop’ without being prejudicial to the people performing those duties?

Maybe an example would help.

Let's say we have Sam. Sam is a wonderful person he donates blood and gives cookies to old ladies. Sams's occupation is as a police officer who by the very nature of American policing enforces state violence disproportionately against the poor and minorities. Sam doesn't like this but his duty and organization demands it. Sam wouldn't be patrolling a poor area of town to bust some young black men for dealing weed. The police officer as an enforcer of irrational and frankly draconian drug laws will. If I said all cops were evil. I'm talking about the former not the latter. Karl is still a wonderful person. The police officer is an enforcer of state violence and the organization of the police makes that possible.

Which is why I explicitly said calling you a MAGA supporter is just as silly as calling me an SJW 

What was that about not getting a post? And then having the gall to call me the dumb one

Here this is for you 



Again it's just as silly as calling me a female SJW

Technically I am Catholic.
And I am pro-life, just not anti-abortion.

Try harder.

Why I already won? The first button I posted more than did the trick showing how silly the comparison was. From there were just dicking around. But if wanna keep playing this silly game of vapid name-calling here
