Saying "white people are privileged" isn't a judgement though, it is a perceived description of reality. And because of "racism" (the idea that humanity can be separated into different "races" based on characteristics such as skin color), if society places you in the "white people" category, you will be treated differently than if you are placed into the "non-white category".
To name a specific and concrete example, if you happen to get classified as "white", you will not be racially profiled and searched by police simply because of your racial classification. In this specific case, white people have the privilege of not having to deal with that issue.
Where the idea of white privilege falls short is that it implies that "white people" are always more privileged and/or better off than "black people" in every way, which is obviously not true. In reality, your perceived class identity is much more important when it comes to how you are probably going to be treated by society.
The issue is that oftentimes, race is used to judge someone's class status. A black person is more likely to be classified as "poor". However, when you are "white", but you look like a homeless person, you will probably be treated in a similar way.
Dude, we both know that there is no space where right wingers have "civilized dicussions", at least not in places where non-right wingers are tolerated.. You guys seem to communicate via facebook tier memes at this point. The only possible place to have any contact with right wingers are "free-speech" meme communities because everywhere else, I would get banned pretty much immediately.
They are the only communities with any numbers right now, the rest is virtually dead..
"Free speech" kinda implies that memes with different opinions and views are posted. Instead, the opposite is the case, it's virtually only one viewpoint that is presented.
Given your attitude towards the trans community, I definitely don't think you do it on purpose.. In practice, I still see a community that is obsessed with the trans community to an absurd degree..
Right, the way I see it, you guys have exactly two topics, or one topic depending on how you look at it. It's "the gays/homos/trans" and "the left". In practice, those two are often treated as the same thing.
That's pretty much it. It's pretty much the same as the liberals who go on about Trump all day long and about how everyone not living in cities is a violent racist homophobe..
Right, but the thing is nobody will ever believe you when you are called "ihatetroons", write about how much you hate "troons", post memes about how "troons" are pedos, etc.
It's pretty much the same as the KKK member saying "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" or "I don't hate black people, I just want them to live seperately from white people, that's better for everyone". Either your definition of "transphobic bigot" is different from most others or you are just a bad troll..
Right, that's how it works, you just go to the trans factory and say "one body mutilating transition please"..
The funny thing is that it was mostly you guys yourself that have built that narrative.. Sure, if you go looking for it, you will find dumb people doing dumb things, that's true for every possible group of people. But you guys seem to be working overtime to keep up the fantasy world where you get oppressed daily intact and that's on you.
No way, tech online forums are filled with weird nerds who like strange stuff? Who would have thought..
The issue in my view was the move away from strongly moderated forums where your comment would get removed for the simplest of reasons towards the idea that online forums should be as unmoderated as humanly possible because of "freedom of speech". And the reason this happened was probably because big tech didn't want the effort that comes with moderating a community.
But of course you want a free-speech forum, or am I wrong?
Being critical or questioning things doesn't make one a hater. But again, you are literally called "ihatetroons", so I seriously don't understand why you want to act suprised when people actually take what you say half-way seriously.. Don't you think this whole game about "I don't really dislike trans people, well just a little bit, but I actually hate the politics" is a bit silly? I mean again, even if you were just using that name to be edgy and to trigger the libs (which everyone claims), you are actively trying to signal to everyone that you hate trans people, so you shouldn't be suprised when people think you actually do..
