And you also aren't going to listen to people who are actually affected by racism directly. You're not going to listen to someone who can get shot because of how he looks.
You are a completely irresponsible and arrogant idiot. I am done with you for today. Never speak about politics again.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
It is only a strategy to distract from racism.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
But paying no attention to racism totally makes sense. Oh, very logical. That's totally going to save all our lives.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
Is anyone going to shoot you because they think you're a terrorist?
No.
So shut the fuck up.
No.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
Again with all your armchair philosophy about the Overton window while people are dying in the streets I think the argument is: Overton window moving left ⇒ racism becomes discredited ⇒ less racism ⇒ less people dying in the streets. Travis seems to think that this is a more effective way of making...

Arguing about liberals is completely ignoring the issue.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
As I said, any plan which starts with ‘first, we convince all the racists’ is doomed to failure. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is more and more people are dying on the street. Arguing about liberals while this is happening does nothing to keep those who remain alive safe. Arguing abou...

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
Let me make a controversial statement: there is very little one can do about racism , at least in the short term. That's true. But at least focusing on that rather than on the supposed failures of liberals would be a start. One can complain all one wants about racism itself, but it isn't going to c...

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
One thing to consider is that since COVID started there has been a long string of attacks on Asians of all ethnicities here in the US (from all appearances they far outstrip the attacks on Jews in frequency), yet I have not heard of Asians considering fleeing the US as a result. Well, you have hear...

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
You're still missing the point:
Lots of people in this country are racist.
Too many of them are murdering innocent people for being from the wrong race.
The problem isn't liberals.
The problem is racism.
Stop whining so much about liberals. Maybe whine some more about racism. That would be a start.

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
It comes down to statistics. Statistics don't matter once you're dead and are not that relevant for predicting what will happen in the future anyway. How likely is it that an Indian will be targeted for their race/ethnicity? One can always point at individual cases, but in the end what matters is h...

Re: United States Politics Thread 46
What? When did I ever say this? I’m shocked you would think of me as thinking this way. Not you. Travis. Thank you for the clarification. Your first line did refer to ‘both of us’, which I interpreted as me and Travis; sorry if I misinterpreted you. Yes. I wasn't sure how to clarify, sorry. I don't...
