We spread compassion and civilization to 100,000 Hereros and Namaquas, 28,000 boer civilians, 20,000 or more Kenyans, and potentially 10 million Congolese.

Whites spread compassion and civilization to 100,000 Hereros and Namaquas, 28,000 boer civilians, 20,000 or more Kenyans, and potentially 10 million Congolese.

Boers are white, but everything else is spot on.

Do these people realize they're going to have to make their easy in the big wide world one day? And that in this big wide world there are already definitions for words and that nobody really cares about their feelings or pronouns?

I think these kinds of people actually believe that if they shout check your privilege enough, people will HAVE to care about their pronouns or "they'll be seen as a shitlord".

Is that serious? It seems like it's riffing on the whole "racism is prejudice plus power" bit.

There are many people on Tumblr who say things like this and believe it. Almost all of them are white straight women who refuse to admit it, instead calling themselves "polytransracial starsnarlgender requieslithsexual" or whatever.

People on Tumblr say a lot of stupid shit, but I have trouble believing there's a non-insignificant number of people who would actually agree with that poster. It's almost certainly a troll.

I've seen it before and it's a troll.  It was made by 4chaners trying to pass it of as having been made by feminists to make them look bad.

Is it trolling or a bunch of douche bags using a proxy to speak their beliefs?

[Sigmaleph]

The implication being that there are SJ people who believe this, and know it sounds awful to everyone else, and then spread it and blame it on 4chan in case it backfires?

Occam's Razor. We know trolls exist. We know that specifically trolls who pretend to have insane SJ positions exist. We know almost no SJ person would ever dare say anything denying a woman's rape*. I can't imagine why "this is what SJ people ACTUALLY BELIEVE" would win as a hypothesis against "troll troll troll troll troll".

Apologies if that is not what you mean.


*A man's rape is a whole other thing entirely, unfortunately...


ETA: Actually, let's make this empirical. Anyone who thinks the poster is legit, can you find me one actual SJ person posting it and agreeing with it? I've looked before and found nothing.

[Canadian Mojo]

No apologies necessary, I wasn't being very clear.

What I actually meant to imply is that perhaps (some of) the fine upstanding citizens of 4chan believe this and rather than simply just trolling are voicing their beliefs but letting others take the heat for them.

Granted, the out-and-out MRA's generally don't seem to think women of any color deserve much in the way of rights.

[Sigmaleph]

It's not the sort of belief that I would associate with 4chan. I mean, I guess it's possible, but odds are low.

Alright if you want to get rid of government assistance then lets raise taxes on the wealthy and lower them for the not well off. Oh you don't want to do that?
Ok then lets raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Oh, you don't want to do that either.
Ok then lets make College classes cheaper and more affordable so people can get better paying jobs. No? You don't want to do that as well?
Then I guess we need government assistance.

But what if I just want to bully poor people? Your solutions would actually solve most of their problems and it would no longer be fun to act all high and mighty around them.

What a drag.

People love to bitch in ways that make them feel superior. They're called "pet" peeves for a reason.

That actually reads like a "college level" African American studies textbook.
