no, it's a diversion used to suppress any meaningful resistance...

Re: if you whine about "systemic racism" in US
chad there's a lot going on here, and it's a bit maddening to hear you saying, essentially "THIS ONE SINGLE THING isn't the real problem, because THIS OTHER SINGLE THING is the real problem"
I don't think there's a single resource I can recommend to get you educated on the difference between LIBERAL and PROGRESSIVE stances in the US right now... but if you can figure that out, you will be freed from this false dichotomy you're obsessed with. you are railing against LIBERAL thinking, which does indeed favor "representation" and tends to overlook the economic plight of poor white people. PROGRESSIVE thinking acknowledges that the fucked-up system is terrible for just about everyone, while also acknowledging that there are specific/concrete ways that certain sets of people are fucked over extra hard.
yes, progressives still wave the flag of diversity/representation, but for them it doesn't end there. they want representation AND systemic change. I agree with you that the liberal sloganeering and policies won't actually do anything to help 99%er white people OR non-white people.
let's go back to housing discrimination...
first, have a serious think about what a likely/possible future looks like for a family who has $17k to their name, vs. a family with $171k in the bank. one is barely surviving, the other has the possibility of thriving. don't get me wrong... our government/economy is fucked from top to bottom at this point, and there are way too many poor people of every ethnicity. but there is, overall, something that is making it measurably worse for black people in particular.
one MAJOR contributor to the white/black disconnect above is housing discrimination. there were government-subsidized housing developments that were made available to white people, and specifically excluded black people. this may have happened decades ago, but since housing = intergenerational wealth, it has an impact on who is likely to be thriving vs. surviving today. this is a real thing that happened in our SYSTEM (and was never corrected), thus it is systemic. it is RACISM because it specifically put black people at a disadvantage relative to white people. if you cannot acknowledge this reality, or if you think soda commercials with mixed-race couples are a bigger issue, you are an ignorant piece of shit who is getting distracted by the same social programming bugbear that you, chad, are claiming to be above.
here is a video (100% factually accurate) that explains this. did you not know about this? do you not care? do you really think there is ANYTHING in this country's history that comparably sets white people back? don't be an idiot.

Re: if you whine about "systemic racism" in US
Merely recognizing the racism that's been inherent in our systems since their inception well over a century ago -- is a diversion tactic used to suppress meaningful resistance? This is what you're saying?
You can whine about corporations using their social platforms and commercial spaces to posture like they give a shit about racism, sure - and you can say that people supporting a "woke" brand helps them feel like they're taking action when they're actually not , I'd agree with that too.
But it seems to me like you're saying that people who raise awareness about systemic racism are preventing our society from getting actual work done for the average American. That sounds to me like some "All Lives Matter" type of bullshit that helps no one but the people already in power.

Re: if you whine about "systemic racism" in US
I respect and appreciate everything you posted Ross, but like quantum stuff, everything hinges on perspective
buying into the system, even acknowledging it...gives it power undeserved
think of your meaningful interactions, you would never hurt someone immediately, nor would I
but if you follow the logic of these things then every moment before the present one needs to be cancelled...it's a denial of history itself
I'm not sure what they want... I could demonstrate incontrovertibly how Israel is an apartheid state, and people can meander around the meaning
there really is no truth except what you accept, other than science itself which has no play in this sociological field
I suppose we could scientifically breakdown the races and that's a direction that no one goes anymore

if nothing else, take for instance the current political state
America has a president that no one even knows whether he's senile or not
behind him is a completely disgusting bitch
these people lie about everything as a matter of course...they are elected by fixers
and people here want to tell me that this new agenda means something?
I don't hate black people, I never have... I treat people as people
I'm not sure what guilt I'm supposed to take up on my head...
give black people every job let's see how that goes

everything I say comes from experience and thought... you are trying to cast me as an idiot who read something somewhere, but you're actually wrong
the disturbing trend toward fascism is actually coming from the left... none of these white trash retards actually mean anything at all and they are basically infected by the FBI to begin with
but this country has a stranglehold on many places solely on the basis of military spending and economic shiftiness
when several countries turn against this one thing it will be a bad day for the US
stop condemning peoples' very being for Christ sake... I swear the modern world has made everyone into a capo

Re: if you whine about "systemic racism" in US
That's the problem, Chad. Everything you say comes from your own personal experience and thought. It's the only perspective you entertain and so systemic racism is invisible to you.
Saying that Fascism comes from the left shows a very misguided understanding of what fascism is by definition. You have to have power to use power. And before you start saying Biden and Harris are lefties, do some research.

"power" IS whatever Biden is
"power" is removing controversial books from Amazon
"power" is leaning on your own tenuous sense of morality without being able to articulate it
I'm against *power* ... obviously

but I'm honestly very quiet and chill and to be honest I'm disturbed by Erik dying
when someone surges in speaking it doesn't mean they are totally committed to everything
sorry
fuck it, I'm 37 and I have sciatica...brutal

Year zero... snake cult ascendant, Constantine II... a new BC/AD of moral genealogy. Second death of the classical world, this time with no great pagans.
They're gonna get what they want, too, at least for a little while.
We'll balkanize completely... then the corpse of the West gets picked over by far more vicious, more practiced totalitarian forces.
I used to think dystopian predictors were immature, psychologically unstable paranoid fantasists... now I realize guys like Orwell just couldn't have seen that we would be conditioned to oppress and destroy ourselves through a lateral, peer-to-peer distributed model. It's not the top-down pyramid that you're scared of, it's a nebula.
The hand of preservation refuses to acknowledge the cancerous vestigial organ... the hand of change has converted itself completely into a corrosive agent, acting at every opportunity as a universal solvent, convinced that whatever it destroys will be replaced or fixed by somebody (daddy!). A healthy human is supposed to have both of those functions under control... now, we all only perform one of those two functions, and in that scenario, the solvent wins. The people you're arguing with here have converted themselves into hydrochloric acid.

Re: if you whine about "systemic racism" in US
james I feel a lot of your concerns
I agree that there’s a lot of noise, and - like Hunter said - and this noise can substantially counter meaningful change
I don’t think chad understands how misguided it is to argue HERE that the US democratic party is fucking useless (or worse) - this is completely obvious and redundant
if you think lip-service and hollow attempts at reconciliation are evidence that no problem exists, that’s where I take issue
I’m arguing that systemic racism is real, and that its impacts are more substantial than a lot of the other noise

Boston Public Schools Suspends Test For Advanced Learning Classes; Concerns About Program’s Racial Inequities Linger
https://www.wgbh.org/news/education/202 ... ng-classes
Unlike master morality, which is sentiment, slave morality is based on re-sentiment—devaluing that which the master values and the slave does not have.
...Because slave morality is a reaction to oppression, it vilifies its oppressors. Slave morality is the inverse of master morality. As such, it is characterized by pessimism and cynicism. Slave morality is created in opposition to what master morality values as "good".
...Slave morality does not aim at exerting one's will by strength, but by careful subversion. It does not seek to transcend the masters, but to make them slaves as well.
...Biblical principles of humility, charity, and pity are the result of universalizing the plight of the slave onto all humankind, and thus enslaving the masters as well. "The democratic movement is the heir to Christianity"[6]—the political manifestation of slave morality because of its obsession with freedom and equality.
“But thus I counsel you, my friends: Mistrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. They are people of a low sort and stock; the hangmen and the bloodhound look out of their faces. Mistrust all who talk much of their justice! Verily, their souls lack more than honey. And when they call themselves the good and the just, do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had—power.”
