And you know what, fuck people who aren't overt in their racism and bigotry even harder. As I stated earlier, they're the ones compounding the problem - at least people who are overtly pieces of shit are being honest about being pieces of shit.

Who exactly are you talking about? Just in general? Or do you have specific people in mind?

People aren't offended by the statement "Caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet."

I thought you weren't asserting that "Caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet". Which one is it? You've backpedaled and jumped back on this stance like 5 times now.

The statement itself isn't offensive, it's not even insulting, however the mere fact that people like you are still so gullible as to buy into this revisionist history (herstory?) garbage is in fact very insulting. It's insulting that I have to share a species with such backwards and hypocritical thinking.

Offending you idiots doesn't bother me in the slightest, because most of you are simply bigots and racists and misogynists that only know how to scream "SJW!" at anyone who calls you on your bullshit. Offending and upsetting you people is exactly what I'm trying to do, because you're all so damn comfortable with your cozy white, privileged lives that you think anyone who isn't must be harboring and projecting their white guilt or racist against white people. It's such a tired, nauseating argument that no one who's a part of any respected establishment is stupid enough to believe nonetheless repeat ad absurdum as so many of you do.

I hate to be the one to break this to you and your fragile ego, but facts are facts. Facts aren't racist, they aren't sexist, they aren't even classist.

You are also fighting this battle with a completely ineffective weapon. You tumblerites wear getting offended like a fucking merit badge. You eat, sleep, and breathe getting offended at the slightest thing like some kind of twisted fetish. I'll tell you straight out, when you are the one who is always getting offended (trust me, it's you, not us), trying to dish it out when you are the only one who can't take it... well they have a word for that, it's called stupid.

On to your "privileged lives" comment. I'll just say you don't know me, you don't know where I grew up, the amount of time I did not have a roof over my head, have someone to fall back on when shit got really bad, or how much actual work that had to be put into putting together the meager lifestyle that I live (Which is still leagues away from even lower-middle class).

But you know what, if you are going to make assumptions about me, I'll make some about you. You grew up with two loving parents in a house with a picket fence, growing up your mother's biggest concern was what she was going to wear that day and your father's was whether his team was going to win the game that day. When you turned 16 your parents bought you a car, paid for the insurance and gas for a year (probably 2, god forbid you get a job before you turn 18), and now that you're the ripe old age of 20, on your own at your precious university that your parents pay for, you get to experience the real world, working part time to pay for ramen while complaining about how stressful it is having to cram for all these tests and triggering your life is whenever you come to these forums full of bigoted assholes.

I'm positing that it is a true statement, and nothing anyone has said so far has even come close to disproving it. We shouldn't just give up in trying to reach a consensus on what words mean just because they're elastic. All words are slippery - definitions change and evolve, and we define things based on our cultural reality which changes over time and all the time. Hate speech isn't oppression, but it's oppressive, and facts are simply not hate speech and nor should they be.

You say this but your posts thus far have made it abundantly clear that you don't actually understand the concept. You are simply terrible at faking the moderate position so you might as well stop trying.

I'm not the guilt-ridden white man you're looking for. I probably know more about and have much more respect for white culture than any of you, which is the very reason I argue so fervently about it. I also enjoy playing this video game on this server, which is why it bothers me to see the forums have become such a disgusting cesspool in which you can't find a single fucking thread without some moron thinking they're so clever for their racist innuendo, homophobic slurs, or poorly masked hatred of women.

I'm not proud of being white, but I enjoy being white, as any white person with any grasp of reality should.

"I'm not the guilt-ridden white man you're looking for."
Did you even read what you typed after that sentence?

I'm willing to say maybe, but probably not. I mean I'm fully aware that there's a point at which political correctness becomes problematic, but I'm also aware that Richard Dawkins looks like a complete asshole every time he says anything political. That doesn't discredit The Selfish Gene or any of his contributions to evolutionary biology in any way, but it is what it is. I'm somewhere in the middle, but admittedly I tend to err on the side of political correctness along with most of my fellow liberals.

I'm curious, what does this word even mean to you. What is it to be a "liberal"?

Do you understand that there's more to belief systems than simply "liberal" and "conservative"? Are you aware that there's an entire political spectrum out there?

And I don't want to come off like too much of a prick here - the ad hominems in my last post aren't really directed at you, but more at people like Kagatob and the other shitstains who make overtly racist and bigoted remarks. No real single shots, just a spray into the masses.

Such an enlightened point of view.

Did you say that to a mirror or are you trying to be ironic? Either way you failed pretty hard.

TLDR: Here's a bunch of absurdist arguments because Paulie G challenged my moronic, shitty views and I don't know how to respond appropriately.

Just start making YouTube videos asap kaga, plz.

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

I'm still waiting for a single response from you guys that isn't an ad-hominem attack, baseless appeal to emotion, or a combination of the two.

unfortunately because of the ways your eyes process text, it will never come.

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

I know, reading statements based on the words they contain is so anti-progressive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's awesome that you are a star trek fan, yet Gene Roddenberry and anyone that ever wrote for the shows would hate your guts.

<<<COGNITIVE DISSONANCE>>>

People like Kagatob are concerned with "feeling intelligent" rather than being "informed" or "ethically consistent." That is one of the reasons that regular people find them so repugnant.
