    White Supremacism remains a hate movement which is currently dormant, but potentially very dangerous. Residual Racism still exists.

    What I think is funny about this is people talk about pizza gate as if that was a current event but the same people will indulge the moral panic about white supremacy.

    Really it's all just a scam to try and keep from losing more people.

    So when you walk away from the left I know because I've done it they don't reach out to you and say hey we're sorry you know your people and we want you back, as you walk away they throw stones at you and dial the hatred that made you walk away in the first place up 100%. It's more like I'm an apostate from a cult.

    So among the left there's a lot of hatred and bullying to keep everyone in line. So this actually caused a movement of walk away. And these people were not really well embraced by the right but enough to make people think that there might be greener pastures.

    My phone is late but it's the left influencer convince enough of the people they bullied into submission that to walk away is white supremacy even if you're a black trans woman then they'll retain at least some of the people that would walk away.

    So that's why there's all this crap about white supremacy trying to hold acceptance over the head of people who identify with the left but aren't really left wing.

    I don't think it's dormant I think it's defeated. Racism will exist as long as there are races and if we ever involved beyond that point there'll be something else.

    Homophobia exists there are places in the world that if I went to I might get killed it doesn't keep me up at night. I live in a place that's safe. The United States.

    I believe White Supremacy has done enormous evil over centuries. Now it seems defeated. But it exists subtly, and it always has potential for enormous harm.

    Racism, homophobia, and a host of other characteristics are part of human nature - early survival mechanisms? - and will never be eliminated. Most of us recognize our presently distructive human instincts and train ourselves to control them, remove them from our lives as best we can and move on to live the most compassionate lives we can.

    sure, but you're talking about history you know Genghis Khan did enormous evil over a quarter century, so did Caligula.

    But nobody says anything about how bad Mongolian warlords or Roman emperors are because that's history.


    It is.
    Defeated doesn't mean wiped out from existence. For example in the civil war the north defeated the South they didn't wipe them out of existence. In world war II the Allies fought the access powers they didn't wipe them out of existence.

    I think the potential to do any meaningful harm is extraordinarily remote. Much like the remaining Branch davidians forming together and doing any kind of harm because they were defeated.

    And those things alone that people do and that I do myself to try and make the world a better place have created a resplendent Paradise or I'm allowed to be gay someone's allowed to be Jewish and since a lot to be black and Christian and whatever all the things that they want we can all Marriott side of our tribes whatever this has never happened in human civilization.

    I would argue here in the US is where that is most prevalent.

    I'll kindly remind everybody that people are allowed to hate one another for any multitude of reasons.

    It's the underbelly of a concept known as freedom.

    Ones feelings and emotions are not higher priority than another's freedom.

    My company has an office in Texas, and I go there frequently.

    The KKK openly advertises there! Like, they dont even try to hide it! They run a series of car washes in and around the area that my office is it. It just blows my mind they dont even try to hide or be ashamed.

    I have never seen anything like it outside of Texas.

    You literally praise a dude who says that men should be expected to cheat, but that women who cheat should be stoned to death or kicked out of society. He says this ****, you worship him, and he's one of the most popular men in the country. Meanwhile you had to dig into a single quote from a drama series for a quote that you can't even find people supporting. Not only do you refuse to stand up to misogynists, but you OPENLY PRAISE THEM.

    Genocide isn't a core part of our species. Please stop excusing it with lame **** like this.

    Given the manipulation and distortion of reporting today- the labels given to protests can be anything. Burning a city is a "mostly peaceful protest", while objecting to schools teaching your kids about sexual preversion makes you some kind of terrorist. The people doing that are the real threat, and the people tolerating it are the fools that enable it. The chaos in the nation today is the consequence resulting from it.

    As I hear it, the primary people this story relates to are protesting things like the drag queen shows and promotions. Hardly anything like white supremacy. More like a demand for decency and moral conduct. Perhaps not done in the best way- but the people they are sending their message to are hardly respectable or ethical.

    In my view- the entire thing is a scam. People today have been generous to a fault to the black community, and all that has done it to enable abuse. While there are a great many fine black citizens, they are allowing the loud and abusive among them to paint their image- and that will eventually backfire and resurrect real racism. Bad choice.

    Respect doesn't come from guilt tripping, victimhood and demanding entitlement; it comes from acting respectably and deserving it. That is a choice that is open to any person, any race, any time.

    Oh, really? Learn about the Mongols and other warrior tribes from the Eastern Steppes of Europe and Mongolia.

    Genocide has been conducted many times by our species unfortunately. Look at how Indians did that to each other before ultimately we took their land from them in the US.

    It’s happened all over the world many times over. It’s an ugly and unfortunate reality.

    If it were a core part of our species, then it would be all across our history and you wouldn't have to resort to the Mongols. And how was what the Mongols did genocide?

    I gave you just an example, history is filled with others. Whatever anyone does is part of human nature. Is it something else, like allegator nature?

    Even a dozen examples don't matter. Just because humans have done something dozens of times doesn't mean it is a core part of our species.

    But, hey, if you want to argue that ANYTHING that ANYONE does makes it part of human nature, then pedophilia is part of human nature. I disagree with your position on that.

    Violence is clearly a core element of our species, as is tribalism. Those 2 together result in unfortunate things like genocode.

    I disagree with your ADMITTED claim that pedophilia is just part of human nature. You literally just confirmed you believe that.
