I spent 3 years in uni being screamed at, in my face often, about how awful I was for being white and working class guy. Glad you didn't have that experience? But plenty of men do. But it was really hard not to become totally alienated by that. A few times I was threatened physically, because I 'don't look leftist', whatever the fuck that means. I still occasionally have some nutbags approach me and scream at me about my perceived politics based on how I look.

The left needs to give people simple answers and stop pushing convoluted narratives about how how being white and male is inherently awful and oppressive and you must be 'reformed' of your whiteness and maleness.

More economics, less identity politics.

Glad you didn't have that experience? But plenty of men do.

As a white male I also have never had that experience. Not have any of my other white male friends.

For something apparently so common it's bizarre I've never seen it heard of a real case of it. Maybe there's a different reason that people were yelling at you?

I've never been beating to death by the police. No black friend I've ever had has either!

Clearly all those black guys who died from being beaten by the police, are liars! They must have done something to deserve having their neck leaned on until they died of asphyxiation! They must have deserved it! All those videos and court cases are clearly all lies and misinformation.

This is your logic and argumentation.

So now white men are being beaten to death for being white males?

All those videos and court cases are clearly all lies and misinformation.

Fantastic point: where are the video and court cases about white men being attacked?

You completely missed the point.

All you care about is your agenda and you will ignore all testimony to the contrary as fake and false. Just like a MAGA.

What point did I miss? I'm not going to play "guess the point", if there's a different point you're trying to make you need to state it.

All you care about is your agenda

What agenda is that?

You're making vague statements implying an argument but won't state what your argument is. This leads me to believe your argument is so fragile it wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of being read.

you will ignore all testimony to the contrary

Some rando on social media isn't testimony. People lie on social media all the time. I asked for specific evidence and this is the response I get.
