Saying "white people are privileged" isn't a judgement though, it is a perceived description of reality. And because of "racism" (the idea that humanity can be separated into different "races" based on characteristics such as skin color), if society places you in the "white people" category, you will be treated differently than if you are placed into the "non-white category".
To name a specific and concrete example, if you happen to get classified as "white", you will not be racially profiled and searched by police simply because of your racial classification. In this specific case, white people have the privilege of not having to deal with that issue.
Where the idea of white privilege falls short is that it implies that "white people" are always more privileged and/or better off than "black people" in every way, which is obviously not true. In reality, your perceived class identity is much more important when it comes to how you are probably going to be treated by society.
The issue is that oftentimes, race is used to judge someone's class status. A black person is more likely to be classified as "poor". However, when you are "white", but you look like a homeless person, you will probably be treated in a similar way.
Ah yes of course, another thing to blame the left for..
I think the reason why you get banned on the big platforms is because you are bad for business and because you turn every community into a call of duty lobby where a bunch of (either emotional or physical) 14 year olds scream slurs at eachother.. That's not a place where businesses want to advertise, woke advertising and pretending to care about social issues is the latest fad and you don't fit into that, so you get the boot..
Also, you are free to have your community here.. Nobody can censor you.. Of course people and other services can block/defederate you, but you could still have a conservative utopia here where you have discussions. Instead, all you do is complain about "the left", as you always do.. What happened to personal responsibility?
I know I'm repeating myself, but you can't call yourself "Ihatetroons", simultaniously cry about how the left unfairly accuses you of "hating troons" and expect anyone to take anything you say seriously..
Yeah no shit.. But there are 2 subs on this server which have any content, and both of them are meme subs.. Is the left stopping you from participating in non-meme subs on your own server?
So the left is also responsible for how you design your spaces?
Are there? The closest to being an actual community is ask-exploding heads, and there are like 5 posts with comments in it.. I mean I get it, the defederation trend doesn't help this community grow, but if your whole position is an uncompromising and provoking attitude, I am asking myself once more what else you would expect the big instances to do.
Even from a pragmatic point of view, what admin would voluntarily say "oh yes, I would love to have more controversial memes on my server, that's always fun.". In reality, all this gets you is more people complaining about stuff on your server and/or a bigger moderation effort. You have to be pretty passionate about anti-trans memes in order to federate with a server like yours, or be a small enough server that not enough people care.
We are talking about "free-speech" in the context of an international online forum, not in the context of US law, so I do think it's a bit interesting to think about how your "free speech" forum has a very one-sided narrative.
No, to be honest, I didn't. But it still is interesting to actually see that even if you have full control over your server, even if you get to make the rules, you are still doing the same thing as always: Blame "the left" for everything all day long without suggesting any viable solutions.
Yeah, but again, I can't really believes you.. To me, you obviously seem to go out of your way to be percieved as a transphobic biggot.
It's like the 16 year old punk kid with a huge pink mohawk who will insist that "I don't give a fuck what people think about my looks", yet he will spend 2 hours a day to get his look just right..
So I don't know exactly what it is, maybe you crave attention, maybe it's a sex thing, idk, but I think you definitely care, whether you realize it or not..
If what you are saying is actually serious, your logic would be deeply flawed. If I was annoyed by star wars fans on the internet, the last thing I would want to do is call myself "star_wars_sucks" because obviously, all that would do is provoke star wars fans into attacking me.. And I also can't really figure out how posting "star wars sucks" memes would help in any way.
The best way to not get bothered by people is by not mentioning the topic that annoys you at all and maybe block people who bring it up, but if I was posting memes online about how "star wars sucks", I would definitely expect to be bothered by star wars fans.
Damn, you really think of yourself as an edgy badass, don't you? DMT is another right wing meme sub imo, nothing special.
The point is that you seem to believe that people can just go to a hospital and get surgery instead of going to a therapist. Thats not how it works, you go to a therapist first.
Which is annoying, but the solution to that is moderation, right? Back in the forum days, you had admins who would remove your post instantly if you dared to post the wrong topic to the wrong place. But at one point, the idea that doing that would be "against free speech" became popular.
What else do you think would solve this issue?
Even if we forget the username, you make it a point that you are “extremely frustrated with” the trans community, you call them "trannyfags", talk about them "mutilating their bodies", even admit that you don't like them. Did you also only start doing things like that when you adapted the name?
I mean we are talking about the internet here, people misunderstand eachother constantly and chronically irregardless of the topic. You can recieve death threats for saying something like "Videogame x was pretty good, but y was better".. How can you act in any way suprised or offended at people on the internet calling you a biggot for anything? Didn't you just mention "thick skin" and the importance of "free speech" and "posting offensive content"? Now you want to tell me that you were so offended at somebody calling you a biggot that essentially you became a biggot, at least as far as your online appearance goes?
I'm not quite sure what you mean with "the politics behind it", but isn't everyone sick of the culture war politics stuff?
I know you will probably disagree, but from "the left's" perspective, it isn't the left that's pushing the trans stuff. The left just wants what it always wanted, essentially the same thing you also claim to believe in: To let everyone live their lives how they want as long as they don't restrict someone elses' liberty. It's right wing politicians who scapegoat social minorities in order to divide people.
I mean your views are your views, if you genuinly don't want to hurt anyone and don't want to restrict anyone's freedom, I don't care too much what you believe in.
If I'm being honest, the thing that annoys me about right wingers the most isn't their view, it's how many present their views. And it's not even you choosing the "wrong language" or whatever, it's you seemingly going out of your way to provoke and be offensive, at the same time acting all offended when people inevitably get offended by your provocations and don't want anything to do with you, and at the same time you then complain about the left getting offended.. It's so frustratingly confusing and makes most dialoge impossible..
And don't get me wrong, I see similar behavior on the left as well, you have left leaning city people who unironically believe that all rural people are backwater hillbilly incest racist biggots. But that just makes it more frustrating as both sides just focus on complaining about the "idiots" on the other side and nothing ever gets done..
And while I will not be able to stop myself from voicing my opinions as you can see, I don't have any expectations of you changing your views. This is mostly about my interest in the views of people who think radically different than me or perhaps about if we have any possibility of getting along or at least share our views despite having radically different views.
Damn, the left really does control everything, doesn't it, even your own actions are actually the actions of the left at the end of the day..
Yeah again, this does make me think that it is indeed a sex thing. You get hard by people calling you a disgusting transphobic biggot, don't you, you naughty naughty boy..
Jokes aside, you have been a good sport, so thanks for suprising me and actually giving me somewhat of a "civil conversation".
