  • Its not whataboutism. Its trying to help you see something youre clearly missing. Its applying the same logic somewhere else, to see if it still works. Its literally how you explain fallacies.

    Its not an all lives matter response either. Instead its you attempting to reject intersectionality, in the name of feminism, without a hint of irony or self awareness. Luckily for you, no one else seems to have read theory post the 1980s either.

    “Men are trash” being acceptable for all women implies that every man ever has always suffered less power imbalances than every woman ever. For example, it would mean that black male slaves in the 1800s would have to of suffered less at the hand of power imbalances than Queens of the United Kingdom, for your “power imbalance makes sexism ok” argument to hold any weight. Its just a safespace for sexism, provided it’s only directed one way.

    Lol no, intersectionality isn’t a false equivalence, as you’re attempting to paint. It’s the rejection of upper class white women, for whom all the men in their lives were all powerful, declaring that all men are always in a higher position of power than all women because that’s the only thing they ever saw (bougouise feminism).

    Turns out, for all their talk of equality, people like yourself just want to be at the top of a new hierarchy, exacting revenge.

    You literally tried to refute intersectionality with “thats like saying all lives matter.”

    Again, you don’t understand what a false equivalence fallacy is. So, you should really stop attempting to use it because doing so is make you look like a fool.

    Whatabouting and false equivalences aren’t the same thing. I feel like I’m witnessing the death of irony here.

    No, something wrong is still wrong, even if you feel bad about historical injustices. The power imbalance does not change this and also ignores every other intersection a white person could have.

    You even drew a false equivalence the BLM which is the only actual false equivalence on this chain.

    See the wiki pages of the fallacies you clearly don’t understand.

    God damn bougouise feminists.

    My point is that is that both are wrong, not that they are or are not both equally wrong. So, would you mind explaining where the equivalence is please?

    I mean, I know its more of a case that some people don’t like that both of those things are wrong to do but I’m gonna need a little more than that and a misunderstanding of an informal fallacy, sorry.

    The easiest way to see if it’s OK is to swap out “men” with any other protected characteristic. If, having done that it suddenly becomes problematic, it was always so and they should’ve known better.

    I think youre right not to engage them though. For all their talk of equality, anyone who talks like that just wants to be at the top of a new hierarchy. Remove or subjugate the men and most women (who haven’t decolonisated their minds) will just replicate the same power structures, adopting the position of patriarch without a hint of self awareness. The way forward is to help other men see the pain caused to them by the patriarchy, as its only then that we can see the pain we cause through the patriarchy, due to the rituals of disregard and empathy killing we go through as boys.

    I’ll finish by saying the same thing I said to my dad, shortly after he lost his job" "yes dad, of course I’ve heard of the phrase ‘sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.’ However, you can’t always do that, especially when you’re meant to be firefighter, you doughnut.





  • Capital will always side with the far right and the far right will always mobilise on their behalf.

    Fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. I mean that literally too. Fascism rose as a direct response to socialism (people trying to say no to capitalism). In Europe, wealthy landowners and the aristocracy funded and empowered these groups, terrified that they might lose their power. The CIA have been finding far right groups all over the world for decades too.

    Despite what they tell you, at its heart, the far right ideology is corporatism: a corporate state (the true antithesis of lefism is privately owning the means of production and the community, as a whole). After all, what’s more top-down, ubermen watching over the lowers, ruthless, “traditional” value, established power, amoral, consumed with greed and the will to dominate than a corporation, left with no oversight?
