Hello everyone, welcome to This Week in Stupid for the 13th of August 2017.
Before I start, I did an interview with mythicist Milwaukee's podcast, in which I'd I turned up after a few beers, I'm not gonna lie, and rambled a lot.
And we had a few Skype technical difficulties where I couldn't hear them at points.
I re-listened to this podcast that I was on and I didn't even hear them interrupting me.
It wasn't me just rambling, I swear, but it was quite rambly.
But I will be speaking at a panel with a chap called, I think it was Tom Smith, who is more, I guess, more towards the regressive left than I am.
And I'll be discussing many of these issues with him live at the Mythicist Conference in Milwaukee at the end of September.
So I'll leave a link in the description to my podcast appearance.
And if you want to come down and give me some support, then I'd love that.
And you know what?
I was really thinking, I want a label for myself that isn't skeptic.
I'm tired with the label skeptic.
I don't really care about the label skeptic.
It's just a placeholder because no one knows what to call themselves.
I mean, I'm a liberal.
I am a liberal activist.
That is what I am.
I'm not a journalist.
I'm a podcaster.
I'm a vlogger.
I'm a liberal activist.
So do we just take the term alt-liberal or something?
We're not like them, but we are still liberals.
We've got like a set of beliefs that we understand and we want to put forward, and they're not their beliefs.
I don't know.
It's just something to think about.
And one of the reasons that I want a label is because I'm tired of being called alt-right.
I am not alt-right, and I never will be alt-right, because they believe fundamentally a different set of propositions than I do, and I simply don't agree with them.
And the reason this is something that's coming up is because of the Unite the Right march, as you can see from Richard Spencer's tweet here.
It happened on August the 12th at 2017 in Lee Park, and there was a preemptive night march that we'll talk about in a minute.
So this Unite the Rights.
I don't know who half of these people are.
I know who Richard Spencer is, obviously.
And I believe that Mike Enoch is actually Mike Pinovich, a guy who hosts a podcast who was revealed was married to a Jewish SJW.
Not a problem for me, but it was a problem for the alt-right.
I believe he divorced her in the end as well.
I don't know who Jason Kessler is, I know who Baked Alaska is.
I did a podcast with him.
I'm vaguely aware of who Augustus Invictus is, but I'm not sure.
I don't know who Christopher Cantwell is.
Matt Heimbach, Johnny Minoxide, Pax Dickinson, is that?
I don't really know.
And Dr. Mike Hill, again, I don't know.
But anyway, they decided they were going to hold a march in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I'm afraid I don't really know, and it doesn't seem to be very important to anyone why this is taking place.
All that matters is that it's happening and it needs to be stopped.
So the media coverage in general has not been generous, but you can hardly blame them, given how this does appear to be something resembling a fascist rally.
And while I don't agree with these people, I do support their right to rally.
If they want to do this, then they have every right to do this, and they don't deserve to be shut down for merely holding a rally.
Whether you want to take their political opinion seriously or not is something different, but we'll get into all of this later.
This does not have to be happening, but again, we'll get into that later.
So, hundreds of white supremacists carrying burning torches and chanting Nazi era slogans rallied in Virginia on Friday night before violently clashing with counter-protesters.
The brawl at the University of Virginia came at the head of a much larger rally planned for Saturday, when thousands are expected for what Monitors describe as the largest hate gathering of its kind in decades in the US.
The alt-right demonstrators gathered late on Friday and charted blood and soil, one people, one nation, end immigration, as they carried burning torches through university campus.
Let's have a quick look at this.
Well, I wonder why they're doing that.
So the mostly male crowd marched through the empty campus on Charlottesville and rallied around a statue of Thomas Jefferson, who designed the university's grounds.
They clashed with a small group of counter-protesters who had linked arms around the statue.
Several people were injured as punches were exchanged and pepper spray was fired.
Mike Siner, the mayor of Charlottesville, called the White Nationalist March a cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism and intolerance marched down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights.
Larry Sabato, the professor at the university, said it was the most nauseating thing I've ever seen in his 47 years of being associated with the university.
Well, if you're really all that sickened by this, why don't we look at the root causes of this and see if we can't prevent this happening in future?
Because it turns out your actions have effects.
But I'm sure you knew that, Professor Sabato.
So why don't we actually address the root cause?
So it looked like there were about a thousand people with tiki torches, and they're expecting 2-6,000 demonstrators on the Saturday.
Let's have a look at the tiki torches.
Look at this shit!
It's beautiful!
Holy shit!
Woo!
You will not replace us!
People coming down the stairs.
You will not replace us!
Is this what you wanted?
Is it?
The powers that be?
Is this what you wanted because this is what you've got?
The demonstrators accuse local governments of trying to erase history by removing the statues and often chant, you will not replace their rally around the statues.
Well, in response to this, the mayor in Kentucky City has called for the removal of Confederate statues in light of the Charlottesville violence.
I'm not sure that's wise, because that just verifies what they're saying.
What you want to do is make these people not credible.
And by doing exactly what they're accusing you of doing, I hate to tell you this, but you make them credible.
That is a true thing they have just said, because you have reacted to make it a true thing.
Stop it.
Just leave it there.
It's part of your history.
Just leave it alone.
Naturally, the SPLC has to come out and pour fuel on the fire by saying something trite and meaningless because no one needs to hear about these people at all.
Anything the SPLC says is irrelevant in my opinion.
But for some reason they say it may be the largest hate gathering of its kind in decades in the US.
Well fucking bravo.
You are part of the puzzle that has made this all possible.
So congratulations Southern Poverty Law Center.
You can take some responsibility too.
The city of Charlottesville had tried to get the protest moved to another park, but the rally organizers sued and the judge ruled that they must be allowed an Emancipation Park, to which the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that's remarkably left-wing but still has some principles, says that their freedom of speech applies equally to everyone regardless of their views and therefore they supported them.
Good.
I mean I hate to do it as well, but I'm afraid they do have the right to hold their silly rallies.
But the thing is, is silly even the right word?
Because these people, I mean this is not a small rally, is it?
I mean that's not a small number of people who have turned up to make themselves look like Frankenstein's villagers who are coming to burn down the castle because the dangerous professor has created a monster.
And I do think that that is essentially their worldview.
That's what they think of you and I think if given the opportunity they would absolutely burn what you're doing down.
Obviously, all of the worst people that you might think would turn up to this.
I mean, here's David Duke at the Saturday event, which is also during the daytime.
What does today represent here?
We're in the cameras right here.
What does today represent here?
This represents a turning point.
We are determined to take our country back.
We're going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.
That's what we believed in.
That's why we voted for Donald Trump.
Because he said he's going to take our country back.
That's what we got to do.
Well, there we go.
They're going to take their country back.
Are you happy?
Is this what you wanted?
Because this is what you now have.
And the thing is, you've probably seen they're rather active on social media.
They used to laugh, they thought this was a joke, they aren't laughing anymore.
No, not really.
I don't see why they would be.
I mean, look at this.
Is this what you wanted?
Did you want them to be out in the streets doing this?
And then you've got things like this.
The American tribe has spoken.
Take your hate-filled tiki torches and leave the island.
Well, where do you expect them to go, Steve?
I mean, they're American citizens.
They're voters.
They're concerned activists.
I hate to say this, Steve, but they don't have anywhere to go.
And I'm not even supportive of them.
But there's no getting around some certain solid facts.
These people do not exist in a vacuum.
And it's people like you who have made people like this exist.
And of course, there were confrontations with Antifar, which would have just been really, it would have been really dull had Antifar just not turned up to make the place a little bit shittier.
It's not bad enough you've got a bunch of white nationalists hanging around.
Oh no, no, let's have a bunch of fucking communists too.
Because this just couldn't get more cancerous, could it?
You know, if the ground opened up and swallowed both of these groups of people, I probably would not even give a damn.
I'd be like, okay, well, that was a good event.
Now, let's get on to actually restoring something that represents liberal values rather than continental racial collectivism.
Because at the end of the day, both of these people have strong opinions on the white race.
They're just on different sides of the issue.
I don't give a shit about the white race.
I don't give a shit about the black race or the Jewish race or any other race.
I don't care about your fucking race.
Why do you keep bringing it up?
Why do you validate these people by making everything about white people?
But we'll get to that.
We'll get to the Oroboros, the snake eating its own tail of your stupid racial collectivism.
I mean, these are the people that we're dealing with.
These are the people that you have called up.
Watch this.
Someone sounds like a nigger.
Wow, what a fupid thing to say.
But okay, that's very interesting.
These are the sort of people to whom you have given political license.
And again, I'll get to it.
I'll get to it.
So the UVA police turned up and dispersed the Friday Night Assembly, saying that it was unlawful.
I don't know whether it was or wasn't, because with events like this, it's very hard to tell exactly what happened when and to whom.
So this is the Mayor of Charlottesville's statement.
He says, I have seen tonight the images of torches on the grounds of the University of Virginia.
When I think of torches, I won't think of the Statue of Liberty.
When I think of candlelight, I won't think of prayer vigils.
Today in 2017, we are instead seeing a cowardly pride of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of our architect of our Bill of Rights.
Everyone has a right under the First Amendment to express their opinion peaceably, so here's mine.
Not only is the Mayor of Charlottesville, but as the UVA faculty member and alumnus, I am beyond disgusted by this unsanctioned and despicable display of intimidation on college campus.
Okay, Henry, that's a good statement.
That's I'm completely with you.
I am also concerned about your Bill of Rights.
I'm concerned about the political philosophy that made it possible.
And I hate to tell you this, but these people didn't violate it first.
The rules of discourse.
They aren't the ones who created this.
They are only the response to it.
And if you are going to stand by what you've said here, then I can point you in the direction of the people you actually need to address to stop this from happening in the future.
And I really think you should, because I really don't want this to happen in the future.
You have statements like this from a US Senator to the white nationalists descending on Charlottesville.
Go back to where you came from.
Hate has no place in VA.
Okay, that's great.
But that's not going to stop them.
They're not just going to go back.
They're not going to go, well, you know what?
This guy said, we're hateful and he doesn't like us.
Oh, I guess we'll quit.
That's not how this is going to work.
You've really got to think about the root causes of this.
So the Washington Post suggests that this is in response to protests over its decision earlier this year to remove the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a downtown park.
White nationalists, white supremacists, and members of alt-right groups will gather in the city at noon Saturday for Unite the Right rally in voice opposition to the decision and assert itself as a movement.
That probably is.
I don't know anything deeper than that.
So let's just assume for now that is the case.
If anyone wants to correct me on any of this, leave a comment with the details and I'll pin it to the video, obviously.
Because like I said, with an event like this that's literally just happened, it's difficult to know exactly what the case was.
But like I said, this doesn't look good.
I mean, this is a local newspaper from Charlotteville, and they used part of one of Trump's recent statements about North Korea and his response to North Korea to title it, Fire and Fury.
And just, I mean, look at this.
Just look at this.
How can this look anything other than repugnant to people outside of it?
I mean, I appreciate that the alt-right is angry, and I can actually understand why they're angry as well.
And I'm angry at the same people for different reasons.
But man, the optics on this are fucking terrible.
This was just.
I don't think this is a win.
I don't think this is a win.
I only say this as someone who is also opposed to the same people.
Again, it's they do worse to you than they do to me, but my goodness, you're not helping anyone's cause with this.
I mean, this just looks ridiculous to me.
I can see why people were memeing you up on social media.
This is like just dumb.
You know, the people that you guys have been complaining about the whole time?
Well, you are giving them everything they want in this photo here.
This is exactly what they want to see from you.
And I think this was a terrible mistake.
I don't think this is going to help your cause at all.
So there were several verified lefty journals who were at the Saturday March and they caught Antifar coming in.
For some reason, this video isn't working, but it was a pretty poor video anyway, because you barely see the legs of them at the top there.
But needless to say, this led to violence with various protests and clashes and fighting in the streets.
Police?
Nowhere to be seen.
Where are they?
What's going on?
Where are the cops here?
Why aren't the cops breaking this up?
Why are they just letting them fight?
Why is this allowed to continue unabated as if this is just normality now?
Get out there with your truncheons.
I want to see some police violence, please.
I would like you to beat the hell out of both of these sides.
So next time they think, oh, you know what?
We're going to go rally.
Oh, we're going to go counter-rally.
They'll think, I might go unarmed.
I might not go with a stick.
I might not go with a shield.
I might not go and cause violence at all because the police will beat the shit out of me.
Because that is ultimately what we want the police to do in this situation.
Restore order for the love of God.
I assume these chaps are the oath keepers who have turned up in body armor and with assault rifles.
If you don't think there are issues that need to be addressed here, then you're living in this.
You've got your head in the sand.
You're living in a delusional world where you honestly believe that these people, not just these people, but the alt-right as well, don't deserve to have their problems and their concerns considered.
And I'm sorry, but they do.
They do deserve to have their problems considered.
And you telling them to shut up and go away without trying to address what they're saying or rebut their points or anything like that is just creating more of them.
It's making their movement grow because it makes you look weak and it makes you look like you've got something to hide.
And apparently Christopher Cantwell got pepper sprayed.
There they are fighting with the fascists and there's more people getting chemicaled in the face in some way.
And then finally, a quarter mile away, a large contingent of riot police are headed towards the main conflict.
Good.
Why weren't they there from the start?
You know by this point what's going to happen when the two groups finally meet.
If you're not already there, you know they're going to fight.
You know there's going to be injuries.
That's irresponsible, do you not think?
Apparently, the alt-right and white nationalist side vastly outnumbered the anti-far side, which doesn't really surprise me.
But let's hear from one of the activists.
Where the fuck are the rest of you?
Where the fuck are the rest of you?
Where the fuck are the rest of you to defend against this?
This is 20 people.
This is 20 people standing against what is coming.
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
When fascism came back, 40 people stood against hundreds.
Where are you?
Right, I'm just gonna stop you there.
When fascism came back.
That's an interesting thing to say.
Very interesting thing to say.
Do you know who's creating the fascists?
You.
This guy.
All of you.
You are making fascists.
You are setting the dichotomy.
But again, we'll get into this in a little bit.
So apparently, because of Unite the Right rally chaos, a state of emergency was declared for Charlotteville.
have a look.
There you can see traditionalist worker party people fighting with the regressives and the Antifa people.
And of course, you'd see many things like this going on social media.
This is actually one of the less retweeted ones, the ones with hundreds of thousands of retweets.
But given how I don't have Twitter, it makes it rather difficult to find these things.
But yeah, this guy has an Adolf Hitler quote on his shirt.
And there are a couple of other people with Nazi flags and whatnot.
Yeah.
Yeah, it looks like it actually is that this is the fascists versus the communists.
I mean, you weren't complaining when Jeremy Corbyn was marching and speaking at rallies where they had Stalin banners with Stalin quotes, were you?
Oh no, you care now.
You care that it's Nazis, but you don't care that it's communists.
Do you know there is a hair's breadth of ideological difference there really?
Compared to like a typical sort of American classical liberal, which your country was founded in that vein, you have got such a gulf of difference between you and the fascists and communists.
But for some reason, the communists get some sort of cover.
Communism isn't treated like a similar evil to fascism, even though it is, if not worse.
It's so peculiar to me.
But anyway, let's carry on.
So apparently we have some numbers.
Now, I don't know how accurate these are.
This is from their Facebook event.
So it may be fairly accurate.
28% of them are apparently Southern nationalists.
19% are white nationalists.
19% are alt-right.
I'm not really sure what the difference is there, to be honest.
19% of the proud boys and alt-knights.
These are Western chauvinists.
These aren't racially focused people, but they are concerned about fighting Antifar.
And 17% of the militia and oath keepers.
These would be the constitutionalists.
Who, if I had to support anyone, it would probably be those chaps.
But yeah, sort of like three-quarters of the people there, I just despise on ideological grounds.
I don't agree with the things they believe.
But you're forcing these people together.
You are pushing them into the same crowd.
And you are facilitating this.
You have to understand.
But anyway, let's hear from Donald Trump.
How did his speech on this go?
Because obviously he had to say something.
And it was actually really interesting what he did say.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides.
On many sides.
It's been going on for a long time in our country.
Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama.
It's been going on for a long, long time.
It is no place in America.
What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.
No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society.
And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.
Okay, that's an interesting statement.
That's a very interesting statement.
The fact that he was willing to address the hatred and bigotry on many sides was actually really good.
That's actually really fair because the hate and bigotry is on many sides.
And obviously that caused a fucking meltdown.
Donald Trump under fire after failing to denounce Virginia white supremacists.
Well, let's denounce the black supremacists or the non-white supremacists, shall we?
Let's denounce any kind of racial supremacy.
I'm actually really with Donald Trump here.
No, he doesn't have to just condemn the white supremacists.
He can also condemn the anti-white supremacists, the people who are literally against the existence of the white race, or at least a white majority in America, which you think, well, that's no, that's normal.
America was a white majority country, and it's people who are obsessed with mass immigration from the third world who are turning into a non-white majority country, and that is something that's really happening.
The numbers are academic at this point.
This is not a controversial thing to say.
In something like 50 years or something like that, or probably not even that long, given the rate of mass immigration, which in America is like a million people a year, it's going to be a non-majority white country.
And there are people who are thrilled with this.
You can see written on this here, die whites die.
Bit strange.
Is that not hate?
Is that not like, well, non-white supremacy?
I mean, that's anti-white people, isn't it?
I mean, how else could you describe that?
How could you describe that with just without describing that as a hateful statement?
It's nothing but a hateful statement.
And you want to pretend it's not happening, but it is happening.
I mean, look at Sally Brown when she was at the DNC, the DNC forum, when they were choosing a DNC leader, the candidates.
This is a candidate for leadership.
She's given a platform.
Listen to this.
My job is to listen and be a voice.
And my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.
My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, oh no, I'm not prejudiced.
I'm a Democrat.
I'm accepting.
My job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege and until we shut our mouths and we listen to those people who don't and we lift our people up so that we all have equity in this country so that we're all fighting alongside each other so that we are all on the same page and we clearly get where we're going.
Does that seem reasonable to you?
Oh, you're a white person?
Sally.
Why are you talking by your own rules?
Why are you the assigned white person to stand up and tell other white people to be quiet?
White people need to just shush and other people need to be louder.
They need to be heard.
On what grounds?
Oh, well, these people are white.
I'm sorry, I find that totally unacceptable.
And I think many other people do as well, who aren't part of the alt-right.
And I think these people can see why the alt-right have formed this.
I mean, look at this debate between Ann Coulter and Chenk Huger, right?
Chenk is reading about Ann Coulter Sweets about the inevitable upcoming white minority in the United States.
Listen to the reaction.
All right, there's so much to say, but I just want to give you one more Ann Coulter quote here, and then we'll take another question.
In 1960, whites were 90% of the country.
The Census Bureau recently estimated that whites already count for less than two-thirds of the population and will be a minority by 2050.
Other estimates put that day much sooner.
What are they applauding?
If that isn't anti-white hatred, what the fuck are these people applauding?
They seem like racial activists against white people.
That's what they look like.
To me anyway.
I mean, I don't know what they look like to the alt-right.
I can only imagine it's the same.
And I imagine there are many other people who think exactly the same.
These people are cheering the fact that white people will become a minority in their country.
I mean, that's a weird thing to cheer, don't you think?
I mean, it looks like there is a specific ideological movement of people determined to see white people themselves a minority in their own country.
And I think it comes from this historical victim narrative they've created for themselves as the eternal victim of white people.
As if history is black and white.
And it has always been white people doing bad things and non-white people having bad things done to them by white people.
Which I'm sure literally any historian you come to will say, well, obviously it's not really like that.
But I mean, that's irrelevant.
That's absolutely irrelevant to these people.
And the thing is, this just goes to the highest levels of the US government.
I mean, listen to Joe Biden's opinion on this.
There's a second thing in that black box.
An unrelenting stream of immigration.
Non-stop.
Non-stop.
Folks like me who were Caucasian of European descent, for the first time in 2017 will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America.
Absolute minority.
Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock.
That's not a bad thing.
That's a source of our strength.
That's a source of our strength, is it, Joe?
It's so bizarre that you're focused on that, but that you think that's a positive thing.
I mean, do you not think that there can be people who could look at that and say, well, actually, I think that's a targeted effort to reduce the amount of white people?
You know, this is a relatively neutral, just meme Twitter account, and it's a really good account as well.
But just a few reasons why Charlottesville happened.
White people are going to go extinct.
I can't wait for white people to finally die out and go extinct.
Can white people please go extinct?
Sorry, Anna, do you even know how white you look?
I hope white people go extinct.
I mean, do you not think that there are people seeing this and thinking, well, okay, there is a coordinated attack on white people?
Because it looks like it.
It looks like there are activists against white people, because I think there are.
I think that we've got to the point where we have to understand and we have to address these people attacking white people.
I don't think that it can't carry on.
I mean, listen to what these demonstrators are chanting.
What are you going to tell them?
They're not anti-white.
You're going to tell them that the people cheering for the white majority and the people saying, I hate white, I hope white people go extinct.
Are you going to tell them that they're not anti-white?
Because, I mean, I think that would make you a liar, wouldn't it?
I mean you, you have to understand how ridiculous that would be.
US! US! US! US! US!
You will not replace us.
They are concerned with the mass immigration and the fact the demographic shifts that are happening in America that seem to be, I don't know, very favorably undertaken by the Democrat Party.
They seem to be part of some plan.
They seem to be part of their political momentum and activism is to do this.
But it's never addressed properly in public.
And these people are responding to that.
And if you think they're not, then I have some news for you.
You're fucking wrong.
Your opinion is wrong and you don't know what's going on.
You're wrong.
It's hard to say, well, there aren't anti-white activists that are trying to make white people minority in America.
That'd be crazy.
Because it's obviously the case.
So why don't we deal with that?
I mean, that's what Donald Trump's saying when it's like, well, there's hate on many sides.
There is hate on many sides.
And I've demonstrated it.
And there are going to be people who, they won't even want to talk about it.
They'll just avoid the issue.
They won't even want to speak about it.
And it's like, well, I'm sorry, but your party are doing this.
The left is doing this.
So you've got to take some accountability for that.
And if you think it's wrong, why aren't you speaking up about it?
And these people know that you made this possible.
At this point, I'd like to thank every left-wing academic, activist, and politician for making all of this possible.
They know that you've caused this.
They know that without you, this couldn't happen.
You make fascists.
All of you people make fascists exist.
You've probably seen the video of the car ramming into a group of protesters on the Saturday that ended up killing Heather Hayer and injuring 19 other people.
I'm not going to show the footage because YouTube will probably remove my video.
So you'll have to find that elsewhere, I'm afraid.
But yeah, it's pretty graphic and it looks pretty brutal.
And there was initially a report from 4chan that suggested that it was a left-winger.
It appears that it's actually a young man called James Fields from Ohio who outlets are reporting is a far-right white nationalist.
I mean, I don't know that he is or isn't.
And I'm sure you've also heard that there was a helicopter crash in the vicinity to the protest.
Apparently, two State Patrol helicopter pilots were killed en route to the fatal Virginia car crash.
As far as they're aware, it's just an accident.
They say that there's no indication of foul play being a factor.
It just seems to be a tragedy, which is a real shame.
So this rally has resulted in the deaths of three people and 19 injured.
So, I mean, none of this had to happen.
You understand that, right?
They could have turned up.
It's exactly like with the Google memo.
Nothing actually had to happen.
If they didn't have a point, you wouldn't react to it.
You just let them go out and do their silly march and, oh, look how ridiculous they look.
And you could have just memed them all over social media and actually come up with a victory from this and just been like, well, they looked ridiculous.
But instead, three people died.
And naturally, the vigilantes are out in force.
If you recognize any of the Nazis marching in Chantsville, send me their names and profiles and I'll make them famous.
And yeah, it's just an account called, Yes, You're Racist.
It's going to come to the point where they're just accepting.
They're going, yeah, we're racist.
Because let's be honest, you guys are racist against white people.
You know, there's no getting around it.
These are just the mirror image of you.
And I'm going to finish with the Ouroboros that I mentioned at the beginning.
This is everyday feminism.
And this is not normally a site I would use because I consider this to be the lowest of low-hanging fruit.
But this is the natural evolution of this ideology.
Should light-skinned people of colour voluntarily exclude ourselves from people of colour spaces?
Do you see the problem with this ideology?
When you're grading people's privilege based on the lightness of their skin colour, once you've excluded the white people, then it becomes a witch hunt to find who's the darkest.
And the lighter-skinned people of colour have to leave now because they're too white.
It's all this privilege they have, you see.
This is horseshit.
And this came out this week.
Well, last week, actually, but it's not like this is an old article.
This is new.
This is what they produce.
This is their intellectual development is to grade people based on their fucking skin colour.
The left has a cancer within it.
It's called intersectionality.
It has to be cut out wholesale and discarded.
Anyone who promotes this has to just be removed.
They have to be gone.
And in the same way that you...
Okay, fire all the alt-right people.
I don't care.
Fire them.
If you want.
But get rid of these people too.
Because these people are both cut from the same cloth.
They are both racial collectivists.
And sensible people, the Americans, the British, the Anglosphere in general, we are not racial collectivists.
We are Enlightenment liberals.
We are individualists.
And this was the heart of James DeMoore's memo.
He wants people to be treated as individuals, not as part of a racial group.
That's what we need to return to.
And until we do, this is just going to get worse.
This is going to get worse and it will not get better.
