Daily Chat Thread, Partie XLVII: the racist anti‐racist and the sexist anti‐sexist.
Of all the insults rightists have for people whom they dislike, I’d say that ‘regressive [leftist]’ is my favourite. Usually when it’s said, there’s no rhyme or reason for it, hence making it an insult in the same way that ‘cuck’ and ‘big dummy’ are. When it is substantiated, the reasons are, unsurprisingly, bollocks. Examples include accepting absolutely anything that any Muslim does (nobody does this), acknowledging that race and gender sadly still matter in this day and age (as opposed to constantly denying it, which is REAL progress!), accepting polygamy (context and circumstances be damned—damned I say!), giving multiple judges, paradoxically, the power of a monarch (seriously)… I’ve considered writing an article on this terminology because I haven’t seen others do it yet. But like I said, it’s usually just a baseless insult (they think that it hurts just as much when it’s applied to others), so I can understand why nobody would bother!
Quote of the day:
‘A moment of silence for the guy in my lit class who responded to my professor saying “trigger warning” by shouting “TRIGGERED! I’M TRIGGERED!” and then said it two more times after nobody acknowledged him, each time a little quieter. He walked out of the class okay but there’s no telling what a self-own like that does to a man’s spirit!’ (source)




Did someone seriously do that? In public? At a place of learning? What the fuck?

You sure about that?
People of colour had no control over the segregation in the 20th century. They probably want separate spaces because their white colleagues refuse to treat them with respect.
And this is the basis for much of the reasoning behind the term ‘regressive left’: them advocating things that seem kinda‐sorta similar to this thing long ago, and are therefore equivalent.
Ah yes, Venezuela, which is True Socialism™ and the model for all socialists unlike anarchist Spain or any of these other examples.
Typical response: ‘Oh, but Venezuela is socialism in practice!’ Because of course, the inevitable result of eliminating the state, classes, and dosh is to get a country with a state, classes, and dosh.
Thanks for the funny reply, though.
Blacks deciding to stay away from whites is racism. Whites bullying, beating, shooting and harassing blacks isn't. Gotta love far-right newspeak.
