For anyone that says punching a Nazi doesn't work

Quote:
Mr. Spencer said he was worried about being attacked again.

“I don’t think I could go out to an inauguration event without bodyguards or a protest or a conference,” he said. “I am more worried about going out to dinner on an average Tuesday because these kind of people are roaming around.”

On Periscope, Mr. Spencer also expressed concern about the spread of the footage of the attack online.

“I’m afraid this is going to become the meme to end all memes,” he said. “That I’m going to hate watching this.”

It does.


Calling someone a nazi, is really only meant to dehumanized them and legitimize violence against them.

Cause I mean who would blame you if you killed Hitler?

Has that thought ever crossed your mind?

You misunderstand what privledge means nausi.
It doesn't diminish you as a person, it counters the fiminishment minorities face by educating the majority.

If you are in the majority for example and are heterosexual, you can walk down the street and express your love for your partner (even as simplify as holding hands) and your behaviour will be normalized and widely accepted in society.

However if you are in the minority and not heterosexual you do not get that privledge and your behaviour has always been far far less accepted and normalized over the years.

This extends to all aspects of life when it's a minority facing what a majority has normalized.

So to summarize the majority of minorities are minorities ?

I still have to catch myself sometimes when they say "I see Dr. So-and-so" and I go "Where do you see him...or her?"

People don't understand exactly how deeply and unconsciously some biases are. To the point where they'll be in the act of doing something discriminatory and still be worried they're the ones being discriminated against.

This is total and complete horseshit.

Using gendered terms is just normal in a language, even one as gender neutral as English. In English the only completely gender neutral generic noun is "It" and how do you feel about referring to a doctor or lawyer as "It". Otherwise your just *** over your own language trying to "say him, her or other (since Otherkin is a gender now) which is complete ***.

Your not naturally unconsciously assuming all doctors are male and thus imposing your patriarchal oppression on everyone. Your just speaking in your native language using the millennia old phrasing.

Now if you did something like say "I don't know if I trust a women doctor / ect." then that's 100% sexist.

That is the type of ***that is being shoveled onto people in rural area's. Rural people just speak using normal language and having someone tell them their "wrong, sexist and horrible people" for using "him" when referring to a gender unknown entity is just *** and they see right through it.

Quote:
At the prayer breakfast earlier Trump was introduced by Mark Burnett, producer of The Apprentice, who flattered the president by attributing the source of inspiration for his successful career to Trump’s book The Art of the Deal.

When it was Trump’s turn at the podium, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to boast about the reality show’s success during his time as host – and taunt his replacement, the former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“And I want to just pray for Arnold if we can, for those ratings,” Trump said, drawing laughs after saying the show “went down the tubes” once he left.

In a video posted on Twitter soon after the president’s remarks, Schwarzenegger suggested the pair should switch jobs: “You take over TV, because you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job, then people can finally sleep comfortably again.”

It's also complete *** that the rural or white speaker is always obliged to speak in a way that doesn't offend anyone.

There is always some obligation for the listener to understand that when spneobe generally refers to doctors as "him", it's not intended to mean women have no place being doctors.
