@Geoffiam@RupertLowe10 Yes. And given that the bias is based in fact and helps keep young girls safe, it’s a necessary bias.
Concluding that members of a certain religion or ethnicity are more likely to commit rape, given evidence that those members disproportionately commit rape, is sensible.
@Vroomfondel1957@ImAlexandrovich Liberals always use “should” to lick their wounds.
“Everyone involved should be prosecuted and publicly executed for this.”
It’s like talking about things you hope will happen but know never will happen somehow makes you feel better about something that actually happened.
@MeliossQc@Dexerto For the same reason you’re upset that he made fun of a dead guy? Your principles are meaningless if you don’t apply them to yourself.
Not a problem. We need to drastically reduce the perceived significance and seriousness of various -isms relative to actually egregious moral wrongs.
Racism, as it most commonly manifests, is merely rude. That it’s more than rude when taken to extremes is so obvious and so broadly true for other emotions and beliefs that it doesn’t need to be stated.
@dennis_brown9@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 Yes, this is true for any emotion or belief taken to the extreme. My point of course isn’t that extreme racism is rude. It’s that racism is rude.
@dennis_brown9@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 This isn’t unique to racism. Political or religious prejudice, even anger, resentment, spite etc. all generally manifest as rudeness but at their extreme they’re more than just rudeness, they’re a form of hatred.
Was it the racism or the “trying to kill you” that made it something else entirely?
Racism + trying to kill = a big problem.
Trying to kill = a big problem.
Racism = rudeness.
So rudeness + a big problem equaling a big problem has nothing to do with racism, but with the propensity to murder.
It’s like saying 0 meaningfully contributes to getting to 5 because 0 + 5 equals 5.
@dennis_brown9@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 A racist murderer is as detestable as a non-racist murderer. Thus, murder is the operative problem, not racism. Nobody has ever said, “it’s bad that he murdered someone, but at least he didn’t do so out of racism.”
@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 Also true. My point is that mentioning or alleging racism as an implicit defense to serious crimes is counterproductive to effectively addressing those serious crimes. Mob justice is also counterproductive. But when a government ignores the pleas of its people, it’s inevitable.
@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 Yes, and alleging racism or exaggerating its significance deflects attention away from the actual problem: violence and murder. When egregious moral wrongs are committed, the mere mention of racism is counterproductive to addressing the egregious moral wrong.
@FrankRowenOnX@RupertLowe10 Racism isn’t even on the list of legitimate problems, nevertheless the “mother of all problems.” Racism is just rude. Beheadings, rape, murder, etc. are, of course, worse than being rude.
@lakerandtang@Breaking911 You and comments like this are the reason nobody cares about being called “racist” anymore. If not wanting to be stabbed makes you racist, then everyone is okay being racist.
You couldn’t handle the responsibility of a word, so you lost the ability to use the word meaningfully.
@grok@kimmonismus Is it possible that the benchmark was made that stringent intentionally to obfuscate the threat of AI in the legal field? Harvey seems sufficiently incentivized to do so. Why else would it use an all-pass standard?
Wokeness is the most successful rebranding of evil in human history
It takes racism, division, and hatred, wraps them in the language of compassion and justice, and calls it moral progress
It made people cheer for the destruction of their own societies while feeling morally superior for doing it
