@Hyolobrika Well, I did wonder if you were specifically asking me what mine was or misunderstood what I was trying to convey. If we're going by the horseshoe theory that I outlined, I'd be closer to the racist middle side because I have seen the destruction that forced diversity has done to my country. I don't care about race, but I do care about culture and I think that race and culture are often interlinked. It's hard to escape this, you can't escape this even in multicultural countries and it causes more conflicts. Whatever we do though, it needs to be realistic and take into consideration human nature. Humans naturally gravitate to people that are like them, they naturally feel out of place when that need isn't met or they have been displaced from their community.

I think it is a good distinction for explaining what has happened. You don't have to embrace CRT... but there are pockets of people that have. Perhaps they do this because racism is frowned upon so need to justify their views. But CRT is basically the next liberal step, it is all about analysing and dismantling the system... but in doing so it becomes divisive and racist itself. It's all race and cultural politics, perhaps this happens more often when people are set adrift from their origins.

@sim @Hyolobrika CRT proponents also seem to want the state to fix the problems they perceive by instituting more policies and state funded diversity programs. This seems to conflict with the desire to dismantle the system IMO. If you think the system is irreparably damaged, would you lean on that system to fix itself 🤔

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika I suppose it is quite the paradox. It's funny how so many of their solutions rely on taking control through the state and system. They just replace the system with their own and dismantle things from within. This is what the long march through the institutions has come to. Somehow they have captured them, they control what people think is the public perception. It's quite the illusion. Control the language, education and media sectors, and you can control the narrative. You can scare people into being compliant or reward them for following your awards program. There is no single person behind this. It is a collective effort. It works so well because it just takes people being indoctrinated into the ideology and they will carry it out in small ways. They want to belong to it, to something greater than themselves.

There are many people that just want to see the world burn. They have utopian ideals. But all they really know how to get there is to dismantle what is already here rather than building up what they want to see. It plays on our human nature, especially when we see injustice all around us and that enrages us. It's a crippling ideology that works on so many levels. It blows my mind trying to connect all these dots.

I have said on more than one occasion that I think there is a lot of overlap on issues that concern me and those that concern the left in general. However the solutions they come up with often seem like something that will exacerbate the issue rather than correct the perceived wrongs.

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika Yes, I would agree with this. There are a lot of injustices in our society that need to be improved so that people can gain the justice they need. But as you say, their solutions to them seem to make things worse and cause more division.

@sim @Hyolobrika It's weird. A good example is police brutality. I agree that police are not above the law and should be held responsible for their actions (perhaps even more harshly than the average citizen). That said, I think that making it a race issue instead of a tyranny issue is incredibly destructive. Instead, we should be looking at which laws are really necessary.

It's funny because the most obvious cause of police brutality from a policy stand point (if we look at it as a systemic problem) is the fact that they are trained to behave as if they are in a "war on drugs" which really means a war on drug dealers and users, but if you point this out you are labeled as a racist for assuming all black people are participating in the drug game. However as I pointed out I don't think police brutality is exclusively a black problem. I think the statistics back me up on this.

@thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika @sim
Police brutality is a problem.
Police murdering people is a big problem.
Police murdering people in broad daylight in front of onlookers because they are highly confident there will be no consequences is a f**king massive problem.

And when they're mostly targeting a racial minority it's even worse, because now instead of "just" having govt agents getting away with murder, now you also have suspicion that regular white folks are "behind" or "ok" with it.
