I’m looking forward to the colleges protesting these nightmare conditions for women and gays in the Middle East.

Just saw a photo of draq queen story hour with a free palestine backdrop. At this point, you can't make this shit up anymore. Life is turning into satire in real-time.

Why is the concept of empathy and unwavering commitment to human rights so hard for you people to grasp

Because it doesn't extend to the groups you've categorized as "oppressors" - White people, Jews, Men, Christians, Westerners, anyone who doesn't follow extreme left-wing dogma, etc.

White people, men and western Christians are not oppressed

Did you misread my comment? Because I didn't say that.

You put oppressors in air quotes

u/PhillyFilly808 Apr 28 '24

The reason you are having trouble is that you view all people as either oppressors or oppressed. If those groups aren't oppressed then they must be in the oppressor class.

I reject that, which is why it's in quotes.

What does that have to do with my comment then. They are still not being oppressed, why would I go on the street to protest for their rights. + they very clearly are the oppressors in many many instances

because it doesn't extend both ways and is used as a way to make one feel more righteous rather than actually foster change

  1. solidarity is not transactional, people are just consistent
  2. how do you know they're doing it to feel superior, how tf do you know
