This is precisely the issue that I pointed at before, in reality, not everyone of a certain demographic has an advantage over everyone else of a certain demographic. Its a stupid point to attempt to initiate change because its flawed from the start

You sound inexperienced. Nothing you will say will even slightly move the needle on my intent or ability to discuss things. You can cry, wail, scream, insult, have a tantrum until you are blue in the face. It makes no difference to me. If you are willing to actually discuss something, then go for it. If you are just going to project your insecurities and view everything as a fight before it’s become one, then you are the barrier to opinions changing based on new information, and nothing else.

Have you forgotten where many originated from?

You aren’t really doing yourself any favors here
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
Do you really think that you know all there is to know? Perhaps I know something that you don’t, but you don’t know what it is. What then?

I’m indigenous to my country. You need to take your high school facism and go and see a therapist.

This exporting US culture shit has got to stop
We aren’t talking about another mine worker. We are comparing 2 individuals with certain characteristics. You have instead decided to compare a third individual because the initial comparison made the concept break down
Just because someone is a certain color does not prescribe to them any specific value judgement. As soon as you do that, one of those categories becomes the ongoing scapegoat for everyone’s problems, and it becomes fascist.

America has prejudicial issues at astonishing levels compared to the rest of the developed world. Obviously its an absurd statement to say there is no predujude abroad in the western world, but the US has the controlling stake in it, and happens to be an infectious cultural juggernaut.
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
I recognise that, I think it’s important to make very clear distinctions with no sweeping statements when prescribing value to demographic groups.
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
This is a reasonable request

You are very emotionally unstable, particularly nasty towards people with certain disorders. Do you think you are superior to them?
Someone with such lacking such basic self control should not be telling people how to run the world, you can barely handle a lemmy comment that doesn’t immediately conform to your interpretation of your worldview.
I don’t lack empathy at all, I just know how to separate emotional involvement from rational conversation, like an adult.
Violence is not, and has never been the answer. If you are fundamentally empathetic, you will always lose to someone who lacks empathy. They are much better at committing harm to others.

Of course, I have first hand experience of it.
Now respond to what I said
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
I empathise with most of this and thank you for bothering to respond without resorting to 4chan energy.
The problem that remains unresolved is the refusal of some people to acknowledge that, like in science, observation is not without cost. What ends up happening is the observation of these trends then causes casualties of blame - in your example we could say the huge population of white people who dont fundamentally see black people in any light other than equal. An insult based on a black billionaire being a greedy billionaire gets called racially charged, when actually, it’s entirely class based. This reliably means that (for example) white working class boys/girls are left to rot.
Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad, to the extent now that its difficult to untangle.

I have no issue being wrong, and I haven’t refused to engage with anyone on anything, and no one has explained anything that I haven’t addressed so thats a lie. Unlike a teenage edgelord, I’m willing to accept that I don’t know everything and I’m open to learning something. But when people start rattling off that certain groups of people are superior or inferior to justify the scapegoating of their problems because they came to that conclusion after watching other people do it, it merits further clarification.

Getting emotional because you are impotent to communicate your thoughts on a topic isn’t condusive to anyone understanding your point of view.
Now, without being unstable or abusive, please try again

Do you think that the Prime Ministers wife is less privileged than the Romanian miner? How would you address the discrepancy with the group prescription?
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
Not relevant, it’s not my job to Google your arguments that I don’t know exist. If you wish to correct me on something, please do!
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
Expand?
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
Address what I said, not something else
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
I’m not deliberately mistinterpreting anything, if I don’t understand something, then explain it to me.
Incredibly privileged of you to assume everyone else has your spoilt middle class educational background
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
This robs people of their individual context. The UK Prime Ministers wife is Indian and astonishingly privileged. You see suggesting a poor mine worker from Romania is somehow more privileged.
Lumping people into loose categories (particularly based on skin colour) and then prescribing loose values to them is fascist and racist.
- Comment on degree in bamf 8 months ago:
Why is ‘race’ relevant here? What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.
That said… this sounds like one of those fantasy scenarios where “then everyone clapped”.
Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I’m prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge “but does x not come from y?” And then she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good.

Scarcity in a capitalist system. There needs to be a class prepared to do shit jobs.

I have been discussing operating systems online for decades. I use macOS and windows daily and have no preference. I no longer regularly run a linux distro unless you count android but I have done in the past.
Every single encounter I have had online where someone says “why mac” or “why would you use a mac” is EXACTLY the same setup for some sort of opinion troll, flame or arguing the toss. In this instance, you can see from the posters history that they are a linux dork.
So, I’m absolutely sick of seeing these flamebait, low effort replies to posts. I’m additionally absolutely sick of people jumping to conclusions about something that clearly isn’t fucking clear and then having the impotent audacity to whine about it
Challenging someone as to why they are using a specific OS, particularly with the lack of further descriptive language or questioning, is obviously not relevant to what OP was discussing. OP was discussing something somewhat distressing for them as well, so even on an empathy basis it wasn’t a psrticularly helpful or pleasant thing to say.

Why would you even ask this question, its clear they use them already…
