How do we stop the spread of discrimination?

[Povinksi]

Title says it all. Despite what some may have you believe, racism, anti-semitism and anti-feminism, as well as numerous other forms of discrimination, are still widespread in the US. How can we as a society combat this threat to peace and justice? Do you have any ideas?

[Al-Portug]

Use the power of the state to ban anything outside of a specific ideology intended to eliminate discrimination.

[The Serbian Empire]

I would say anti-feminism exists because some of the self-proclaimed feminists believe in stuff such as manspreading, transgender extermination/exclusion from society, and... making women permanently exempt from the draft.

[Galloism]

And fighting against gender neutrality in sexual assault/rape laws.

[Rusozak]

If we're talking about the US, kick out the southern states and crack down on whatever's left? Offer a refugee convoy for anyone who wants to evacuate the south, and throw the bigots on our side in.

But since that's not really realistic, how about we try to curb the inflammatory rhetoric from media sources? Would be a good start. You keep saying white people are threatened on Fox News and whatever and someday some crazy kid with a weird haircut is gonna shoot up a church.

Overthrow Capitalism.

[Infected Mushroom]

Build an anti-discrimination police force staffed and overseen by a cadre of ultra-progressive, politically correct, highly sensitive individuals. Individuals would be encouraged/incentivised economically to report instances of discrimination; this would in effect turn the regular citizenry into the eyes and ears of the government in pursuit of the elimination of discrimination.

Is this for disabilities and racism?

Eating peanut butter and being partial to diamond-studding pierogies always does the trick for me.

Overthrow Capitalism.

Please don't be serious. Eat some peanut butter.

I'm curious, y'got any examples of stuff that the government has any right to do something about? Cuz if not... I mean, this whole thread is kinda pointless isn't it?

I am genuinely serious.

[Ostroeuropa]

By teaching critical thinking addressing the concerns that foster discriminatory attitudes.
Feminism shouldn't be on your list, by the way. It's one of the problems.

I can't help it if your economic system is racist, sexist, and so on buddy boy

Aw, you're cute when you rant against Capitalism by providing unsourced unsubstantiated arguments based largely outside of reality.

Here, have an internet cookie.

What do economic systems have to do with racism and sexism?

[Saiwania]

The government really has no right to interfere with de facto discrimination, which is a normal part of life. While yes, I shouldn't be able to prevent a Black family from moving into my majority White neighborhood for example- it is within my right to leave for a different place where my racial group is in the majority, if that neighborhood ceases to be majority White and I'm unhappy about staying.

Well done, you're read up on the Frankfurt School. Good job.

Of course, you have yet to show the same exact things wouldn't happen under Marxism, so, I'm afraid I'm going to have to withhold cookies.

Half of the problems with feminism is that some are just plain old biased against men.
