It sounds like you believe there is a tiny amount of people who can solve an incredibly small quota of issues and so we must all conserve effort.
If that really is your belief then stop wasting more time being here criticizing a so-called small problem and go there where you could use your effort to help out with those big issues you’re talking about. Lighten the load. This getting fixed isn’t actually distracting. But your criticism and acting off-character of your own argument definitely is.
Quoting myself from elsewhere in the thread: "Maybe I was too harsh. I’m not trying to be critical of someone who’s at least trying to make the world a better place."
Not sure what argument you're looking for with me, but a lot of what you're ascribing to me here isn't accurate. I'm just going on an internet forum and saying how I see it, same as you.
I think you are aware of the FIRST argument I had with you as you did answer it in the first sentence but then turn feign ignorance immediately in your next. my second argument now is : your using bad actor tactics. You are not acting in good faith arguing here.
I am not "arguing." I'm saying I think the kind of performative anti racism described in the OP article is silly, especially when it involves so badly stretching the definition of "racism." Maybe, though, it's overall not the worst thing in the world and I actually tried to partially retract some of my criticism of it as being overly harsh. But I still think it's silly and can actually be counterproductive.
If you think different, that's fine. I think I've explained myself at this point. I am in no way shape or form interested in having an exchange with you where we try to determine which of our viewpoints "wins".
