Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Private Pyle]

Considering they don't include recent african immigrants as capital B Black, probably not. Even if they include them they'll drag them into the light skin vs dark skin wars. I feel bad enough for the poor Black people who get dragged into that already

I can barely figure out why black Americans are so indifferent to African and Caribbean immigrants but the dark vs light is completely stupid to me. For a group that’s so oppressed and degraded, they seem to have no problems dividing themselves up.

Even the examples they give aren't of 2+2 equaling 5, they're of 2.5+2.5 equaling five. Did they even make it past the fourth grade?

It's like they don't even understand their own examples.

--- non-spergs are encouraged to skip down to the TLDR at the bottom ---

Someone who actually cared about math could easily make this a valid example, like so:

"All real world numbers have error bars around them, because it's impossible to perfectly accurately measure anything. One common and reasonable way to round numbers, is to round anything below 0.5 down, and anything 0.5 or more up. So if you have two values that are each bigger than '2' by a little bit, let's say they're each 2.4, then that's still pretty much '2' if you have to round because you can't measure or record the fraction. But if the actual values are adding up in the real world, then you get 2.4+2.4=4.8, which is way closer to 5 than it is to 4. So yeah, 2+2=5 can happen in the real world, but when it does you just say "oh, there's a precision problem here".

The thing is, by this understanding it's reasonable to say 2+2=3 or 2+2=4 or 2+2=5 for various actual values of '2', but you can say with reasonable certainty that if you get 2+2=7 something fucky is going on.

(Of course even then, you could have a number ring or a metric on a non-euclidean geometry that overloads the '+' operator or whatever! Buuut, even then you will still have *some* mathematical system that can describe why 2+2=7 in the circumstances given. Math works, bitches!)

--- TL;DR ---

Yeah, 2+2=4 is "standard arithmetic", and there are non-standard variants where 2+2=something else. But they are STILL MATH. You can't escape the fact that you basically have two choices:

CHOICE A - Words mean things, and once we accept the premises and definitions of something like "basic math" then 2+2= fucking FOUR because THATS WHAT WORDS MEAN YOU FUCK. Or we can accept some other rules and then 2+2=whatever. The point is TELL ME THE FUCKING RULES AND THEN WE BOTH FOLLOW THEM.

CHOICE B - Argle-bargle glyph-glop, floop promble fpppht grook. *Grunts and bangs rocks together*

That's it. There's your choices. Either words mean things, or whaaaarhgharbl.

I hope he'll be wrong for this one. I don't want another 2008 with these old hags.

This is the whole point of postmodernism.

If everything is subjective nothing can be objective thus everything can mean what ever you want/need it to mean. And thus everything means nothing in the end. That's why its so heavily used by SJW types because it allows them to rearrange language to mean what ever they need it to mean at the point in time and it can mean the very opposite 5 seconds later if needed. Its the very definition of weasel words that can be twisted to win any debate or castigate any opponent.

1984 was telling the truth when they said if you control the language you can control the thought. If there are no words to convey certain ideas then those ideas wont be able to be conveyed.

Its nihilism at its core and that's why the SJW love it so much as they are the ultimate nihilists, pushing for destruction of the current order but having nothing to replace it with. Delighting in the simple act of destroying something created by someone better then they could ever be.

Nihilism at its purest and a major issue in our culture as it seems to be spreading very quickly through our young,

I can't wait for a male feminist ally to legitimately defend rape. grooming, or some equally heinous act with something like "I was unable to objectively determine that they weren't enthusiastically consenting to my advances, your honor! Subjectively, screams and gouging at my flesh are behaviours they'd previously told me were characteristic of consensual sexual activity, for them!"

Because 2+2=4 is a White Western perspective that marginalizes other ways of knowing, and all such white hegemonies systemically oppress fat queer trans BIPOC. It's more of the magic of postmodernism.

This is a very good, considered, educated refutation of the entire postmodern bullshit.

But as has been pointed out, it boils down to one thing: these postmodernist SJWs are saying, 'I reject your reality and replace it with my own. And mine is better because I am a better person.'

Which shows, if nothing else, why a place like the Farms is actually very important. Because we collect all the evidence that they are not, in fact, a better person, and so have no standing.

It's not possible to stop people from trying to alter the 'truth' so it's more beneficial to themselves. But we can at least counter their iconoclasm with our own - and since what they wish to commemorate is themselves, it means tearing them down with their own faults and history.

That this is often very funny to watch is a definite bonus.

It isn't.

If it were, troons would be able to dodge bullets and all those stunningly brave drug-dealing, meth-addicted black transwomen the TRAs like talking about wouldn't be dead.

Gen X are the ones being called boomers though.

Why should we care what they're calling us this time? Young or old, it all translates to "Wah!" anyway.
So much envy, so badly misplaced.

Wouldn’t surprise me if that happened once Gen Alpha becomes of age.

Millenials are already blamed by the boomers for everything. I'm willing to wait a few years so we can see millenials getting blamed by the alphas for everything the boomers did.

1984 was telling the truth when they said if you control the language you can control the thought. If there are no words to convey certain ideas then those ideas wont be able to be conveyed.

I recall a particular thought exercise over this issue once, taking the idea of a culture that has a gorillion words for "war" and none for "peace". Someone pointed out the obvious logical leap of rather than the hypothetical culture knowing it as "peace", it's more likely to be described in terms they understand as a people, such as "the time between wars". American English is a particularly mutable beast, as well, for better or worse, capable of cobbling together words on the fly that sometimes enter the larger consciousness without being as impenetrable as the compound word-phrases one gets from German. Remember, Shakespeare made up a bunch of words (eye-ball being the one I can remember off the cuff) that jumped into the modern speech of the time, because they actually worked.

What I'm saying is, no matter how unwieldy it will be to phrase it, the human race will always have a way to say, "This person is a colossal faggot and cannot be trusted".

So the jobs of "diversity consultants" and "discrimination advisers" will forever remains secure.

So the jobs of "diversity consultants" and "discrimination advisers" will forever remains secure.

The positions themselves will in some form, but not by the same name, and absolutely not the people filling them. Nepotism and clout-chasing are endemic wherever power exists - even a tribal system will have opportunists jockeying for favor with the warlord.

Let's see how these millenials would react if we said to them "Ok boomer".

I wish I could find it, but it was a couple of months ago on Twitter where someone showed what happens when millennials get the 'OK boomer' treatment.

You will undoubtedly be shocked to your very core to hear that they were offended. Also, it was referred to as punching down, because of course it was.
