This is a pretty shitty post from you. What part of my post suggests I said this was the logic? That women/minorities deserve racism?

Apparently neither you nor CM are capable or willing to engage fairly on this topic and have to leap to hyperbolic accusations without basis in order to defend your lurid little movement.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Does the media peddle bullshit? Absolutely. But it only works because of the kernel of truth at the core of the stories, that the democratic party and many left wingers are misandrists and anti-white in rhetoric and often policy too.
It's not a coincidence that males skew republican too.

Additionally, if we're noting the media's nonsense on this, why don't we discuss how the media peddles nonsense examples of sexism against women and racism against minorities?

It's no different there.

Media alternatives like breitbart arose specifically because of the prevalence of progressive identity politics, misandry, and anti-white racism in the media, with only really Fox avoiding it. (Fox, to their credit, are the only major news network in the US that did a months segment on mens issues and didn't waffle about how it's their own fault for being sexists.)

You keep trying to avoid responsibility for it.

This is not something the right wing has been doing very long, actively shilling for the notion that misandry/anti-white racism is prevalent. They can do it because it's true.

Islamophilia too.

And you keep pushing all of the responsibility on us and acting like there's no way white men could ever embrace racism and misogyny for fundamentally wrong reasons.

Also, in the particular context of American society, you can kindly fook off with the "Islamophilia" bullshit. American Muslims are statisically more liberal than American Evangelicals.

MRAs are unfairly maligned, but feminist bitches get what they deserve.


Which MRM policy would institutionally disadvantage women if it were enforced?
I.E, which MRM policy is demanding prejudice+power be applied to women?

I've got some Feminist ones and you know it.

Yes, MRAs are unfairly maligned, and feminists are disliked for what their movement actually is and the system it imposes, despite the media routinely shilling for them.

It's pointless to discuss the republican party changing, i'm not a right winger. Yes, i'm pushing all the responsibility onto the left because they're the ones who can and must change.

I notice you don't ever bother to actually engage with the points I make and you're insisting on adding "Bitches" there despite me not using that term, and despite me specifically noting the difference between feminists and women plenty of times.

Apparently you seem to think a feminist has to be a woman. Quite shocking sexism from you there, unless ofcourse, you're merely being disingenuous and trying to pretend i'm being misogynist because you have no credibility, no argument, and nothing but hyperbolic lies to defend yourself and your peers.

I'm aware you changed to mocking me. You have nothing else.

I'll admit that particular post of mine was flawed, to put it mildly. But I do stand by my general thesis that you are being too generous towards the right and placing an excessive amount of responsibility on us. You are being, in my opinion, extremely simplistic and lending far more credence to the fundamentals of far right ideology than it deserves. This is akin to saying "well, the far right is wrong about there being an international Jewish conspiracy to establish a New World Order and gulag the entire white race... buuuuuuuuuuut there are a lot of Jews in the media and financial sectors, no?"

No! No killing of white people or black people. This shit needs to stop, let's just all calm TF down and be all egalitarian and centrist and nice and peaceful and space loving. Just calm down, take deep breaths, and...relax.
This nation a funsion between capitalism and social democracy (the only type of socialism made to actually be incorporated into capitalist governments rather than trying to destroy it).

This nation is PMT/FT. Sometimes modern tech.

We sometimes use pokemorphs and digimon in our armed forces. Sometimes

We are technically centrist.

This nation is a reunited Yugoslavia (and also sometimes controls the UK as well).

There's a difference. Their jewishness is not related to their capitalist exploitation of people.
Progressives?
That's an ideology, a movement, and it's fair to note common abuses and themes that are sourced in it.

"Far-right ideology." this is the kind of toxic thinking that has led to this problem. Merely because someone rejects the progressive left does not make them far-right, and the insistence that it does is one of the problems with the progressive left.

I don't mean I have no idea what anyone here believes in (or, at least, argues for/against). What I mean is that exceptions aside (like the aforementioned Ostro, or (though he's not really a frequenter) West Leas Oros, etc.) I can't predict, beforehand, what any frequenter here would argue for in a new situation based on previous data.
