It is funny to me when a rw guy doesn’t rly have his heart in the racism shit. Unironically like “well yeah I see where you’re coming from, but I have a buddy from Libya on Telegram and I think we have to make an exception for him.”
Somebody asked why Hillary is thicker than rolled oats in this video and I didn't wanna be the one to let them know that there's a reason Bill bombed Belgrade for missionary in the dark
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ Anyways, to spell it out again
1. It's not the reclamation of the slur that's cringe, it was his usage of it within context.
2. I'm not deciding anything for anybody, I made a lukewarm critique on a social media platform. If you don't like it turn off your screen. Close ya eyes
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ I've addressed both those points. You don't accept my answer for them, so you regurgitate the same questions, which I inevitably answer the same way. You haven't even made a follow up argument yet because you're too busy missing the point.
@MikeyPhillipZ@uncannymannyyt Refusing to engage with identity politics is different than outright rejecting queer struggle and resistance, the latter of which is counter revolutionary.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ You can't preach solidarity then have this hyper individualistic mindset about fucking over people who share your class. And you obviously don't give a shit about LGBT struggle, so your Karen talk just shows me you aren't capable of arguing in good faith.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ Denigrating yourself using historical slurs used against anybody is cringe, but it's also dangerous because people look at that and use it as an excuse to dismiss a group entirely. It's why PragerU hired Xaviaer DuRousseau. So he could play uncle tom for a white audience.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ If somebody called themselves a nigga in the context of trying to gain white approval online i'd absolutely call them an Uncle Tom. You aren't making the point you think you are making.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ You can reclaim the slur, but even if you do, using it on yourself to get brownie points online is cringe. How many times do I have to state the same point?
@uncannymannyyt@QGorilla43710 You absolutely attacked an inflated argument I never made. Anyway, yeah, Traore lost a few villages. It happens. Guess who immediately did a 180 once he recaptured them? The guy in your own example fundamentally disagrees with you on the point you're trying to use him to make.
@uncannymannyyt@QGorilla43710 Attacked? My brother, this is twitter. And quit using greentext. I can smell /b/ on your breath. A disagreement over verbiage doesn't even constitute an ad hominem, much less an "attack" lol. Get a grip, man.
@MikeyPhillipZ@uncannymannyyt I think disregarding decades of queer marxist theory because you have a gut reaction when interacting with liberal identity politics is helping preserve an existing social order that protects ruling class interests.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ But you've also purposefully ignored why I said what I did. It's not the word that's the problem, it's the fact he's denigrating himself with it to impress strangers online. It's parasocial, and fucking weird.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ You're being obtuse and purposefully conflating a reclaimed slang term with a historical slur, which is exactly what i'd expect from somebody who is culturally removed from black people. Quit tokenizing people.
@uncannymannyyt@QGorilla43710 I'm not the one furthering manufactured division by stating that the struggles of an entire demographic "aren't important" despite decades of misinformation, repression and propaganda. Higher stage communism is impossible until certain social prerequisites are met.
@uncannymannyyt@QGorilla43710 That is to say: Capitalists use all of these tools to fracture the working class, and then wield identity politics specifically to muster the exact sentiment you are touting, making solidarity that much harder to achieve.
@uncannymannyyt@QGorilla43710 I do think that elites use identity politics as a driver for division among Americans, but they do this by obfuscation of the root of the issue, which is still capitalism.
@uncannymannyyt@MikeyPhillipZ I just think going around performatively referring to yourself using a historical pejorative for internet points is a bit pathetic.
Anyway, present an argument that isn't reactionary and i'd be happy to engage with it more seriously.
