[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…]
I don’t care
[next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting]
DISCRIMINATION
SO UNFAIR!!!
LET US IINN!!
MISANDRY
Someone says dumb shit about women, i come for them. Someone says dumb shit about white people i don’t care. I certainly don’t start wailing and posting paragraphs about how oppressed i am.
Power dynamics . Learn them.
Uhhh why not lol? Some group being majority in power doesn’t mean everyone in that group is in power, and even if they are there’s no reason to divide people. I’m allied against billionaires because they are actively working to make my life worse, I’m not allied against my neighbor just because he’s white and has more money than I do.
You rail against billionaires because they’re untouchable to you.
POC rail against the white hegemony because it’s untouchable to them.
Where did this come from exactly, seems kinda unrelated
They understood being allied against billionaires but didnt understand “being allied against an entire group”
So i simplified it for them
Never! I will only engage with discrimination at a superficial and naive level, falling for every concern troll post like I was born yesterday
Power dynamics may affect the scale and context of harm, but they do not make group-based contempt morally sound. If you object to demeaning people for belonging to a group, that standard must be general. Otherwise, you are not opposing prejudice, but are rationing sympathy instead.
