Explain that to me and maybe I'll allow you the point. I'm fairly confident you can't explain it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support the protests. I detest the antagonists and the looters. I hope you are well when you awake tomorrow. Thanks! Got to the restaurant today and all the protests in Geneva were peaceful! Yay for my business Yay for Genevians Yay for the cause That's how it's done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 1 hour ago, SectionC3 said: I live in the real world in which curfews are an imperfect but suitable solution that allows the disaffected to be heard and reduces the ability of instigators to blend in with protestors under the cover of dark. They don't work. I'm not saying they shouldn't be in place but I don't know of any situation where they have done anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All examples of how critical theory is mind poison. Trapping someone into fighting battles of the past, while ignoring the actual enemies of the present. It's a theory meant to divide, create hostility, and tear down structures of "oppression" which are symbols, rather than addressing the actual problems facing our society going forward. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, it COMPLETELY is unable to answer the question of the responsibility of individuals to pay for the wrongdoing of OTHER individuals, which of course is why I asked that fool the question I did and why he's unable to answer it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And social injustice is not a problem going forward? Rampant corporate greed is not a problem? The richest of our society not paying their share of the tax burden which burdens the working class all the more, these are all social injustices that need to be addressed. You use lots of words and say nothing at the same time, it’s an art form, I understand that. Edited June 1, 2020 by Don Otreply 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marxism (which is critical theory's roots) requires an enemy to work. It requires an oppressor and oppressed dynamic. It does not seek to fix this paradigm, but to extend it. And you're falling for it because you're ignorant of not only reality, but the history you're claiming to try to remedy. Keep fighting ghosts of the past while ignoring the present enemies. That's a solid plan you've got there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now maybe YOU have oppressed a black person somehow, but I haven't. My conscience is clean on that matter. You think this somehow precludes you from having received any benefits from institutionalized racism in this country? Good God you are a simpleton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very simple test for it that I've made JUST for big brains like you: 1. Do you live in the USA? 2. Are you white? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you have undoubtedly benefited from institutionalized racism in your lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not. Because it presupposes something about me that just isn't factual. It presupposes that I am somehow more privileged than any average black person in the United States.
