A slogan is not a position
How is that a troll comment?
What did i do to you? Sounds like you have some animosity towards me
Now we just need the cunni - 10⁶⁹
But he’s not from Indiana though. The point I’m trying to make is that the commenter posed an unfair stereotype which suggested that white South Africans are proclived to racism even though there are no facts to support that argument. There is however evidence to suggest that Indianans or Idahoans or whatever other white inhabitants of famously racist US states are proclived to racism.
Do you see my point?
We don’t cite Gramsci here
These people are liberals as well
Linking to the general page for liberalism instead of classical liberalism when talking about right wingers… huh sloppy
This place def needs more centrists. Too many libs sucking themselves (and each other) off. Not more MAGA though. Those guys are just wrong
Are you fucking dumb?
Chill out bro
Go sealion somewhere else bud
I admit that one might have been a bad take in hindsight, but my stance is unshakeable on this issue
I don’t know why i still bother honestly; only to be labelled a fascist/Nazi once they’re done with the downvote bombing. It’s disgusting.
I don’t think it’s a logical error to assume it’s about race when the original comment did not specify otherwise.
Edit: It was also further confirmed by the commenter LowestStone that they themselves at least were looking at the race angle.
I understand your point about colonialism well and the fact that many white people who went to South Africa went there for the profits of human exploitation, but is this historical background enough to conclude that it is expected of a white South African to be racist? That’s the problem i have with the initial comment i responded to. It doesn’t differ much from reverse racism to me.
There seems to be a culture of hating one’s own race in order to make up for colonialism and racism among white people. This is simply not necessary.
Since you’re so knowledgeable about logic Mr. Philosophy, why don’t you go ahead and tell me what is wrong with my comparison.
Also, you’re lucky I’m not blasting you for that atrocious punctuation
Then it’s more like imperialist white South Africans, so judge away.
Just calling out the double standard man. We don’t have to continue a bad practice.
Yes it is. You’re making a judgement about both groups based on the colour of their skin
I know. It is also bigoted to say you’re not surprised by a white South African being racist. That’s like saying you’re not surprised by a black African American being a criminal.
It’s because it isn’t clear to me that white South Africans of present are majorly racists. I’ve tried to look up stats and studies and it’s all anecdotal. Sure, it’s there, but there’s no evidence suggesting it’s widespread enough to make generalisations.
