Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.
Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.
Quelques exemples concrets :
— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.
— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.
— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.
Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.
La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.
L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.
Explain to me how mass immigration is a 'left wing' concept.
I can't fathom how people swallowed this idea wholesale.
- Endless supply of cheap labour helps capitalists, not workers
- Strip mining of talent from developing countries is a form of neocolonialism
- Endless pressure on the housing market inflates assets and prevents the poorest from having reasonably priced homes
- A refusal to train enough people here removes vocation paths that the working class used to follow
- The most negative social and cultural second order consequences are happening to working class, deindustrialised or neglected areas
So it's left wing how?
I can see how anti-immigrant sentiment can be seen as ethnonationalism and therefore right wing.
But I can't see how support for mass immigration is left wing.
And to be clear: it's not just a part of left wing thought. It's now so central to left wing thought, apparently, that any divergence from this immediately makes you 'far right'.
Americans who praise the NHS have no idea of the realities of the system. The fragility of single-payer is a downside often not correctly assessed alongside the strengths of universal coverage.

@quayconcrete@Sargon_of_Akkad What needs to happen between now and then, if they are to stand a chance, is to agree not to contest the same seats and support each other in taking the seats where they are polling strongest. Then a coalition. Otherwise they’re gifting opportunity to the greens
@LeftistBlondie@Toush1n@lthlnkso I really don’t think the existence of group think and purity testing on the politically active left is controversial btw. The right does allow more dissent, and more debate. The left is more inclined to believe that the left-wing position on any topic is a settled good.
@LeftistBlondie@Toush1n@lthlnkso The video didn’t do a good job of debunking the claim, it didn’t even try to, which is to his credit. He pointed out some methodological flaws which seem to strengthen the effect, but the effect is still represented in the stronger study
@JamesMarshcz3o @jessasstrophe We recently all saw the horrifying news of a woman dropping her newborn from a balcony. The very idea that simply two weeks earlier the same termination of its life would have been played off as just a medical procedure is kind of horrifying, yes.
@KingOtheNorth31 I agree, but the problem with legislating to permit it is that you can’t really then define when it is not appropriate. Too many depressed Canadians being offered (and some accepting) assisted dying. Rather than treating the condition, offering an easy out because it’s cheaper
@quesadaaa_ So people don’t believe when a celebrity, colleague or family member is accused. That doesn’t mean they’re excusing a rape, they’re not believing one happened. Almost all western men will agree rape is a uniquely terrible thing to do to someone
@quesadaaa_ I do sympathise with your post, but I think you’re just missing how very hard it is to actually prove ill intent in most rape cases. The majority of rapes aren’t being dragged into a bush by a stranger, it’s a date gone bad and those are very difficult to know what happened 100%
@sappholives83@SKerosiini If I tried this, I would also collide with a % of people I pass. Every interaction like this, someone moves aside. It’s not always women, but it is absolutely true that some people simply will not yield. My son is autistic and he is woefully unaware of other people’s trajectories
@PaulEmbery@Con_Tomlinson Many of those here legally already have a limited duration on their authorisation to stay. Many others are here because they can send money back home without taxation on the transfer. We can certainly steer policy in such a way that people leave voluntarily, no?
@TsunDwarf@ZoomerBrits@TheOmniLiberal They were given compensation… because this did actually happen and they were found to have been discriminated against on the basis of sex and race.
