Imagine hating white people and sublimating it into nonsense about social justice
"judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin" can't believe those dumb honkeys fell for it
Do you really believe that "judged by the content of their character" is the ambition of the social justice movement today?
They've pimped that degenerate slut out for cry closets, safe spaces, 200k+ "diversity" appointments, screeds against "racist white males"
Why can’t the left just admit the swastika is simply a hindu symbol
of peace? Even if hitler himself wore a swastika around, the truth value
of a statement is constant. Checkmate, liberals.
why can't the left admit that words are just noises we make with our mouths, and written language is just arbitrary squiggles. it's crazy that i can make a series of mouth-noises or draw some squiggles and triggered libs call it the 14 words and label me a fascist
Ah, yes, “It’s okay to be white” is so super-effective that their
discussion thread about its unassailable trickery starts with them
proposing a new, even more context-dependent version to replace it after
the normies caught on.
Because when your regular leftie white male normie is confronted with
IOTBW, he knows full well what is the Cathedral master’s command: claim
it’s NOT OK to be white and tear the poster down.
I wonder if any of these bright white stars of burning logic have
heard of the division between the SJ/PC left and the dirtbag left.
I guess it's not surprising at all that someone on the right would conflate the two, either out of ignorance or malice.
The more absurd thing, upon reflection, is the conflation of corporations trying to reduce liabilities by not platforming or employing flagrant racists with literally anything the left really wants at all. My guess is that the primary reason a lot of rationalist-reactionaries with earnestly held beliefs are so terrified of leftists is that they actually think corporate America (power) gives one microgram of shit about anything further left than Joe Biden.
If Attorney MARX had the social justice movement under courtroom
cross examination and asked ‘Yes or No, Is it Ok to be Capitalist?’ And
the judge ordered the movement to answer then the movement would be fine
because it’s funded by private interests.
I blame John Barleycorn for replying there with a response not up to
the standards they’ve set for the community. My punishment is a
three-day ban from TheMotte, which is both just and merciful.
nothing means anything except in reference to what has come before it. even what i'm typing here is just squiggles referencing sounds you can make with your mouth referencing concepts that have evolved over the several thosands of years humanity has used language, through multiple languages.
in this sense,what does the political slogan "it's OK to be white" mean? a baseline reading gives you something like "there's nothing wrong with having pale skin", but in a world where people with pale skin have more more money, are less likely to be imprisoned, and are more likely to have a high position in business or politics, what does this banal slogan *actually* mean? To know, we have to look at context.
The slogan comes from ethnonationalist corners of the internet, a medium that has brought out voices that have went unheard in society as of yet. The internet has centered dialogue about police brutality, media representation, hiring and housing bias, etc., and this recounting of oppression has left many white people feeling personally, individually victimized, for whatever reason.
So: is it OK to be white? of course. no shit. Are white people some victimized, marginalized group that needs a movement pushing for its acceptance? any cursory look at the organization and leadership of our society will show you that that's absurd, and a look at the origins of this political slogan explains all you need to know about its utility.
I thought this was exaggerating somebody’s point in the linked thread humorously but no it’s an actual direct quote
imagine calling yourself Attorney 4CHAN in your fantasy arguments in the shower
pretty sure that’s not the word I’d pick, but learnt something for sure

Context is like subtext. For cowards!
A decade of philosophy classes and yet you open yourself up to be asked what you mean by white
Do they mean gauche or am I missing something here
As if 4Chan could pass the bar.
