Racial division and all forms of identity division only end up harming eveyone to be honest, only benefiting the manipulative and narcissistic few who use it to their advantage.

What? I’m merely stating the ulterior motive of identity politics, that is to say, to hinder liberation.

Can't go against the left-liberal consensus.

Might be time for self-critique and a few more classes in cultural marxism.

Don't you know that standing up for blue class interests is by definition reactionary and that the urbanite hipsters are the new revolutionary avantgarde and that refugees etc. are the new proletariat?

Class identity is fluid and ultimately meaningless. (One can get richer or poorer, acquire means if product, and lose them). Culture changes but has continuity, something to ground oneself to.

Sure, but that’s also a reason why class identity differs from other forms of identity, in that it’s fluid. Other identities are unchanging, and as a result can’t be a judge of character. One can examine how someone gained their class status, either through good or bad ways. Also, other identities aren’t inherently hierarchical, whereas class is a direct expression of one’s societal status.

There's little point on having identification with a social status that is malleable and could be the results of various circumstances. You could be poor due to being bad with money, or to being exploited, you could be rich due to hard work or inheritance. Identity based on social status is flimsy and has no commonality other than being rich or poor.

You have a point, but that’s why I, as well as a lot of communists, socialists, etc. seek to abolish class rather than reform class systems. Most identitarians don’t want to abolish systems of identity, and instead want to use them to pull down others.

If you expect people not to notice you're using the same strategy as the far-right by dancing around your opinions but never being explicit about them and refusing to defend them because they are indefensible, but just implying them constantly and dogwhistling to other misandrists and anti-white racists, that's not going to work given your long history on these topics.

You're behaving exactly like steve bannon does, just a mirror image.

Everybody can see it.

Calling it out however, is the counter argument needed. You getting defensive over that doesn't convince anybody anymore. Maybe a few years ago when this kind of gaslighting was less well understood, but not anymore.

We're not shovelling words into your mouth in lieu of an argument. You have made no argument, you have simply implied support for white genocide and left it hanging there, but refusing to acknowledge that's what you've done and then act like people are attacking you for pointing it out.

Just like Bannon when he rejects firmly all alternatives to fascism, outlines what fascism is and doesn't reject it, and just sort of... waits for you to piece it together. But god forbid you say "You're a fascist", because then he behaves exactly like you are now.

Acknowledging that this is your argument, and the tactic you are using, is in itself a form of argument against what you have said and what you are doing and why it is wrong. Can you engage with it and explain why this observation is wrong, or can't you?

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.

It arose in response to Vassenor consistently saying nothing and refusing to adopt any coherent position but asking asinine questions, making comments to the air, and presenting flimsy defenses for abominable conduct apropos of nothing.

This wasn't merely an explanation, it was a dismissal of the example.

Vassenor asked in their typical way; "So where are White people being oppressed for being white?"

And then they were told; "South africa and zimbabwe sometimes."

To which Vassenor responded with "Which depending on your point of view can be seen as a backlash for how black africans are treated under the old government.".

Suggesting vassenor is AWARE of these examples and was PRIOR to them being pointed out, but nonetheless denies white people are oppressed routinely. Ergo, we can conclude Vassenor thinks oppressing white people isn't oppression, because vengeance.

This is all fairly simple.

I'm sorry, you must have missed the question. Explain why you said that. Explain why that was an appropriate thing to say, why it fit in where you said it. You cannot.

The only possible reason to respond the way you did is to dismiss racism and ethnic cleansing as justified.

Interesting that you think calling a study "drivel" constitutes an acceptable response. On top of that you seem to be implying that noting some people in a group are unsavory therefore means you can dismiss the whole group.
