Now white males are being shafted, the only group left you can beat up with impunity, not for long though...we are fast getting a voice.
Yeah, white males have been oppressed and silenced for too long ...
Jeezus, you are pathetic.
And the voice that is developing is outwardly racist and crybaby whining that they have to share with blacks and browns and females.
Btw, white males have fucked up the world pretty badly (communism, fascism, endless wars, racism, pollution, etc.)
And yes, you have benefited from the past genocide of the natives and racism against people of color.
So what should happen to white male me now?
We can’t expect you to quit your right wing drivel cold turkey, so for every hour you listen to or watch or read your usual news, spend two reading, watching, or listening to left wing drivel. The 2 for 1 ratio is to give you time to catch up on the details of what life looks like from another side. Find videos of religious services not of your own, try to absorb what is going on and the feeling of the people. So far none of this requires you leaving your house. I’m not suggesting any of that for you as it’s probably beyond your reach at this point.
A simpler option is to go back about 60 or 70 pages in this thread and read everything linked by anyone who isn’t Red or Kiid.
Trust doctors over demagogues, scientists over shills, and activists over advertisers.
Someone said something to the this effect, “You treat me as you treat the least of my brothers and sisters”. Try to live by that.
Aussies, at great expense and effort, shipped their asses all over the world in the great wars because “law and order” without the consent of the governed is pure thuggery. If Aussies then thought it was worth laying down their lives to stop that kind of thuggery, you only do them honor if you refuse to support it now.
Capitalism and Christianity often present you with conflicting imperatives. If the west is very capitalist then it is hardly Christian and visa versa. Since the west is clearly very capitalist, think about all that implies.
It may be that based on the number of people and the volume of transit and communication, along with the level of tools available to capture and analyze data, the system you’ve supported and that supported you was the best possible way to live in its time. No shame or demerits will be assigned to you for getting here the way you have, but if you follow half the suggestions above, you will see more of how and why it’s not working for almost everybody now and you’ll find where there are some really good (and at least as many not so good) ideas about how to make things work better for many more people going forward.
