Yes. Trump's incompetence is much more likely to lead to failure.
No. While you still draw breath and the genocide is ongoing, you can never say you've done enough.
Where did I say this was my only action? I specifically called it my "most basic" action, indicating I view it as one of the easiest/least impactful.
Yes, and I provided the context directly under where I accused you of removing it. I was speaking of the "white male" group you singled out in relation to other groups. You made it seem as if I was singling you personally out in relation to other groups.
This is the last I'll say on it, since we both agree that the sex, gender and ethnicity of the other is irrelevant.
I've thought about it and have determined that white males do not face unique forms of discrimination due to them being white males, simply the same capitalist oppressions which used to be reserved for others. So to single them out as a unique group that is discriminated against is not based in reality.
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression "
Someone who's desire for engaging in and "winning" internet debates is libidinal.
No, suggesting that their vote was lost due to the democratic party "denying their humanity, feelings and fears" implies they are victims of having those things stripped away.
So we have a core disagreement here (though I don't see the relevance).
Respect is freely given but can be lost. How do you respect Nazis? Baby Hitler did nothing wrong sure, adult Hitler is a different story. We didn't beat Hitler by hearing him out and defeating him in the marketplace of ideas. We pushed the Nazis in and he ate a bullet.
Another core disagreement.
these things were conveyed to white males. Far more than any other group. I'm expected to vote democratic party despite a genocide of my brothers and sisters in faith...Dems literally adopted Trump's white nativist policies to try and appeal to white males and {1}you're justifying their lack of support while combatting mine...
being stripped of your "humanity, feelings and fears" and having to face a total lack of empathy in the system, would be victimization. It's just not something they face.
Edit: {1}
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment thoughtfully. I understand our disagreements better now, and I apologize if I came across as arguing in bad faith. I'm sure you understand my perspective better now, and I appreciate you addressing it with respect.
Peace to you and all those you care about.
