Electoral College is racist

IMO, the tactic of using the false accusation of racism, etc has become a far bigger issue in the US than actual racism, etc.

The false accusation can not only destroy the lives of innocent people, but it also causes the words to lose their effect. Now when there is an accusation more people than at any point in recent history will roll their eyes and go about their business.

Meanwhile, actual acts of racism will be ignored. Such as Antifa yelling racial slurs at law enforcement.

Ironically, the far left is guilty of both spreading false accusations and committing racist, sexist, or bigoted acts than just about any other group I can think of (within the US).

I sure hope we don't have a language problem, here. The two of you are probably not in disagreement.

Yes, sexism, discrimination, and xenophobia are problems at some times in some places. I think everybody agrees with that. However, Easy Rider was pointing out that political extremists will label their opponents as sexist, unlawfully discriminatory, and xenophobic in order to diminish them and their arguments. These are common ad hominem attack vectors.

His point is that those tactics are far more commonly used by the extreme left than by the moderate right.

Let me illustrate.

In the U.S., we tolerate the rantings of the extreme left but we just ignore the far right. If, for example, someone demonstrates on this forum that they are on the extreme, ethno-nationalist right wing, they are immediately banned. They have nothing to offer to public discourse. Most of the USA treats ethno-nationalist right wingers the same way. They're easy to identify, so we ignore them.

But mainstream news media likes to highlight them, even though they exist in statistically insignificant numbers.

Why?

Because most of the mainstream news media leans left to far left. By trying to create an impression that there's a large right-wing contingent of people who are sexist, racist, and xenophobic, the left (and especially the far left) belittles and/or ignores mainstream conservatives. The far left paints those who disagree with them with all sorts of terrible labels. That's easy to do because it's easy to identify the far-right ethno-nationalist idiots as sexist, racist, and xenophobic. They are. They just don't represent any real numbers in the body politic of the USA.

It is that false name-calling tactic used by the far left that Easy Rider was commenting on. The far left tries to make everyone think that all conservatives are the same as those far-right ethno-nationalist jerks.

The far left can get away with that false name-calling because it's pretty easy to understand that there is a microscopic number of really bad people on the far-right fringes. Everyone knows what they look like and everyone knows to let them have their marches, laugh at them, and then ignore them.

The folks in our society who are too far on the left, however, are tougher to identify. Until recently, they've done a pretty good job of hiding their radicalism. They've recently become emboldened, though, and have started attaching the word "socialist" to their political affiliations. They've also recently become far less shy about their anti-Semitism (which is really weird and I don't begin to understand it since that's a characteristic of the lunatic-fringe ultra-right wing, too. Seriously, the way the far left has recently publicly embraced anti-Semitism has me baffled.)

Eventually, we'll learn to identify the lunatic fringe of the left as handily as we identify the lunatic-fringe of the right. When that comes to pass, the 99% of us in the middle will be able to ignore or be amused by both extremes, equally.

Until then, though, one of the best group of identifiers of the lunatic left is their willingness to label everything they don't like as sexist, racist, and xenophobic, no matter how inconsequential the thing they don't like.

tl;dr - LadyBangBang and Easy Rider are probably more in agreement than either realizes.

OTOH, I could be wrong and LBB could just be a troll. The account won't last long if that turns out to be the case.

LadyBangBang - I invite you to drop over to the Introductions forum and say hello. I'd certainly welcome your perspectve on many things but we all need to get to know each other a little better, first. Around TGT, community generally comes before politics, so tell us a little about yourself and let us get to know you.

IMO you are wasting way too much time engaging with an obvious troll.

Captain we’ve veered off course. Lmao

Sexism, discrimation and xenophobia aren't a weapon of the extreme left. They are real problems... I think that your argument is a joke.

I put a like on your original post because I thought you were joking with reverse psychology. You will find if you look this site allows us to ignore trolls. You are going to find it lonely here by yourself

Yes they are problems. Problems that have always afflicted the human race, of all colors, genders and ethnic backrounds, and always will be. To think otherwise is simply ludicrous. I have worked in the real world for nearly 50 years and it is no near the problem the left make it.
There will always be people that don't like this or that group for whatever reason. No amount of Social Engineering will change that.
And yes, the far right does use it as a weapon. Just about anytime somebody says anything they don't like or they have no substantial answer to.

Yes, they are serious problems - in Europe, Muslim countries, etc.

Probably at the gang bang

Hell, I wouldn't mind hashing it out. I've got facts that show it's been weaponized by the far left.

pronstar,

Well that's a PITIFUL SHAME & just when I was going to ask my Darla to "rip some strips of hide off" of her.
(Fyi, the members here who know her KNOW that she can make you feel about a millimeter tall & without uttering a single vulgar word or even raising her soft voice more than 5 decibels.)

I don't know what you guys are talking about. As of the time of this post, the account is not banned.

If the account is actually someone who seeks a bit of understanding, I'm happy to help. But if you're right, that's OK, too.

Open the door for a feminist, you’ll get screamed at.

Puts a smile on my face every time.

I've never once been yelled at for holding a door open for man or woman.
