The whole racism is prejudice plus power is idiotic. I imagine that idea came from some clown at university. Racism has a definition. I’m so tired of twisting words. And also they make it to where only white peoples can be held accountable for anything
This. It only exists because people want to be overtly racist, but don't want to get called racist.
Thats the magic trick, it doesnt.
It is an article of faith in the religion of modernity, and questioning it gets you targeted as a heretic.
That’s true. It’s just frustrating how they twist words that have had a clear meaning for centuries and everyone just has to go along with it
Racism does have a definition. Same as "woman". The trick is in making people accept that it doesn't.
You can try to apply one, but the term has never been used consistently. Definitions are a reaction to usage, not the other way around. "Woman" was in fact used consistently for 1000s of years in different languages. "Racism" didn't even exist for most of that time.
How about "Irrational hatred of entire races of people other than one's own"?
Too many people see hatred itself as irrational. It isn't.
Irrational is highly subjective. For example I don't want to live in a black neighborhood because black neighborhoods have a lower quality of life.
Or I don't really look at resumes that have black names or black colleges listed because as a person in a technical field I haven't found a black person who is remotely qualified to do the work I need done.
To me that is perfectly rational. But that fits most modern definitions of "racist".
Well the really funny part is the person who said that didn't even mean that it was the only kind of racism. they were just adding a definition that I partially agree with, given that we've seen racist power structures throughout history.
I believe said person has come out and said that other forms exist and are extremely valid.
Not to give the leftoid so much credit, but I find it funny that even said leftoid is dismayed at how retarded their kin are.
Good points. I just really hate their mentality that they can engage in deplorable behavior but it’s ok when they do it
It's a long-term strategy to maintain the rhetoric of Leftist Inevitability: all previous generations of Leftists were actually Conservatives; all of today's Leftists are tomorrow's Conservatives.
Because Leftism has no objective principled grounding, and is only a Philosophy of War, they can take bad ideas that they had that worked against them, and declare the entire thing "right wing". TERFs are "Right-Wing", and gender essentialists are "Far Right", even though both were considered Leftwing at an earlier time.
Edit - Actually this is part of Racialism's history as well. The Left considers it to be a "conservative" ideology, that was espoused, uplifted, and institutionalized by Progressives like Woodrow Wilson.
Not entirely.
This isn't really all that different form what happened with Napolean's Empire, the Assyrian Empire, or the Soviet Empire.
The success that people without moral frameworks have is in their aggression. It allows them unrestrained aggression and deception at all times, and in all cases. This means that they get to seize the initiative most of the time. Thing is, once they hit containment, or peak expansion (natural containment), their collapse becomes inevitable and irreversible until the whole system collapses utterly.
They are very prone to cascade failures, particularly without maintenance.
A strong moral framework (any moral framework) is an excellent mechanism to resisting attrition from Leftist aggression, which is why de-moralization has to come first. When you re-assert that moral framework, it may limit your avenues of approach, but it creates a massive defensive bonus to resisting attacks.
Moreover, if you have a strong moral framework, it can allow you to take the initiative on some issues, rather than being reactionary to the latest leftist fad.
It's really a different way of fighting war, rather than being disadvantaged. The issue is the Leftist ideological narratives are so prevalent that people don't really see that other ways of fighting wars are workable, because they are only looking at it from a Leftist perspective.
