Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

It reeks of "waaaaaaah, we had it worse!"
Anytime anybody does that shit in a trauma support group, they get shut down pretty quick by people telling them to stop with the oppression olympics. It keeps the community from turning into a pissing contest when one person can be a complete fuck up and blame it on that one time her boyfriend fingered her while she was half asleep, and feel she has the same insight as some chick that has been forcibly prostituted and gang banged a hundred times, and then the first chick gets mad the second chick gets sympathy.
 
It doesn't look so good on a poster when you say "they [black people] stole [other black people] people they didn't like and criminals and made them slaves".

Specifically it was black muslims that sold blacks to white people. But yes, 100% correct.

A bunch of slave trading kingdoms weren't Muslim.
 
The mass communications and propaganda techniques in Rwanda were quite modern, but the actual methods of carrying it out were as primitive as it gets and largely involved simply hacking people to death with machetes, up close and personal, like they were harvesting wheat. Some people involved in that simply spent every waking moment for a couple months hacking people to death and raping the ones who were still alive during their time off.

And what did the world do during all this? Absolutely sweet fuck all. So much for never again.

if anything, rwanda showed that you really don't need shit like a sophisticated labor camp organisation or high tech army to slaughter a million in just a few months. they literally came at the tutsis with machetes, and kept going at it until the RPF managed to take over and put an end to it

I agree entirely, and I think it does help emphasise how even the most seemingly benign modern technology and know-how can cause apocalyptic levels of carnage if used correctly even if the people you are seeking to carry out the genocide are literal third world peasants with little more than farming tools at their side.

Bit of a tangent but it would have made Black Panther a hell of a lot more interesting and the villain a hell of a lot more compelling if Wakanda had taken advantage of the slave trade to subjugate its local rivals and sell them to Arab/European slavers in exchange for resources they needed to build their high tech society, and then covered this and subsequent aid and assistance to imperial powers up for centuries in order to maintain its own ultra-nationalist self-image.

If at the stroke of noon today, everyone tried with all their might to kill the person on their left and not stop until that person was dead, or they were dead/unconscious in return from the attempt, the body count would be astronomical.
 
But how can you figure out who is more oppressed if you can't compare numbers to prove it?

Still, Trevor Noah has what I think is a good point - that cultural imperialism and documentation makes the Holocaust much more real to us than many of the other genocides in history. I think there's a difference in how the Holocaust was an industrialised slaughter, but if you want to decry 'history's greatest monster', to many countries there's been someone who was worse than Hitler. Not just on a pure numbers level, but also in regards to not just massacring a people, but enslaving them as well.

And tankies will go to exceptional and hilarious lengths to defend some of the biggest bodycounts out there.

There's no way they'd have written anything in that could even be potentially interpreted as "Some Black people somewhere did something wrong."
 
If that were true, the majority of Africa would look like a first world nation before any of that happening.

*referring to the classroom door.
 
Who gave people the idea that a bunch of white dudes were just running around Africa, rounding up slaves? That's an awful lot of work for a fucking merchant sailor, who could be transporting something else instead.

No. Many african tribes had a glorious tradition of war, and enslaving the losers. Hell, better than killing them, right? And they realized the various traders would buy slaves from them, so there was a lot of demand, so they stepped up the enslavement game.

It's people who did that. People of every color. People throughout history have sucked hard. They tend to be at their worst when taking revenge for misdeeds in the past though.

"How dare you start with the biggest demographic in the US!" Also notice that even if this story on white dudes growing up on America were to be acceptable to this lady, by not having it be during February, she would still expect it to be calling out white dudes as being bad instead of honestly reporting their experiences.
 
Why is anyone pretending to believe anyone else when they lie and claim to care about the fucking cover story of fucking esquire magazine...

Nobody cares about this. This is the blandest nothing to have never mattered.

Although, reactions like this make me think, yeah, maybe people should get to know how, you know, normal people in this country live? White male is a big demographic, why do we have to pretend it doesn't exist?
 
They see a normal white teenager talking about his life and their first thought is "he's a toxic white boy with privilege." Also note that the people who decry calling black men boys as racist are very quick to call a presumably 18 year old man a boy. It's even more blatant with how they call college white men boys. I'm honestly glad esquire is running these stories, and I hope they're unbiased and honest. It's refreshing to address how every type of American lives their life. Considering the blatant insertion of #MeToo and such into the subheading I'm not sure they're going to be fair-minded when asking these boys questions.

It's funny because people like her and her reaction are exactly why this article exists and is relevant.
 
Man, hope nobody finds out bout' those 5 years I subscribed to Model Railroader in the 90's, got 70 issues and not ONCE did the cover feature a black man or transwoman!


And that content, all about how to weather with pastel powders, or how to kitbash a GP-10 diesel, and page after page of track diagrams, but not ONE instance of anyone being told to check their privilege!

I'm so sorry!
 
Pretty much the same conclusion I came to with the Jeong tweets. I was like, alright, I like me some good racial jokes now and again, I can believe that she joked about white people a few times and people got a little too asshurt. Then you see the thousands of tweets she made about white people over a several year period and you realize they really just don't like white people. By their own argument, irony passes over into actual hate eventually, and it crossed that line a long time ago with these people. They'd probably make the same argument racists make and claim they have white friends, they're just criticizing the "concept of whiteness".

I really hope Gen Z ends up more accepting of each other, because as far as I see, us millennials are doomed.

Would they forgive him for the crime of being a huwhite male if he trooned out?
 
I don't think it matters how much the company is making. If you are providing labor that is worth them paying you, they will pay you. If you aren't, then they would be nuts to keep you. He's bitching just because [parental figure/corporation] didn't vlaue him for just being himself. I trust a predictable system of money for value over a system of feels and impressions. The later would make me feel anxious all the time. Maybe that's why the poster is upset? He's anxious and looking to regulate that by feeling misused.
