This is why one should never assume anything based on race, except perhaps resistance against sunburn; regardless of the the group it is aimed at, racism is still racist. I hope that here, in the place of anti-extremes, more people will understand this sentiment; it often seems that only fairly right-wing people care about racism against those considered "white", and many on the left only care about it against everyone else. I truly care about the rights of everyone, and I mean everyone, including my enemies, but communities like #AllLivesMatter currently seem to disproportionately care for only the usually ignored racism, rather than all discrimination based on race. Perhaps if more people of all backgrounds used the hashtag it would become more equalised.

Being mixed, I think race is a pretty silly concept; there is such a genetic continuum even for people that aren't necessarily very mixed that, to me, hard lines just seem too hard. It's genetic variation originating from geography, not solid categories.

The woman did exactly what most leftists do, she didn't have any argument, and instead went straight to the default PC argument. What it shows is extreme stupid bias; where by the left is so used to using the media given 'boogie man' arguments.... In the end the results are??? Not too many people care about the labels placed on them anymore; I mean hell, if just being indifferent, and not towing the reactive mainstream narrative, being proactive makes you 'xyz blank media labeled', well, people are numb to it.

You mean corporate leftists or SJWs and AntiFa.

I'm a voluntaryist/agorist/anarchist who leans left who used to be more left but never of that SJW corporate engineered-left sort who make us all cringe.

Just like the Alt-Right are so far from being Nazis, who were the underdogs in WWII, but that's another story.

Labels and semantics matter for effective communication, though it's never prefect - especially when "they" are always fucking with it and diluting it with doublespeak.

oh yeah, 'they' can change a narrative by simply reinventing it; it's part of their reactive society they're creating; where by, each day, you must tune in to learn what's acceptable that week, day, and hour. I'd label myself a Classical Liberal/Paleo Conservative/Libertarian(maybe).

Basically, I believe each to their own, I don't care who you are, just as long as we can find common ground at some level, to co-exist; Live, and let live.

Basically, I believe the same.

I don't know if this is ironic having the same beliefs with different labels, as I consider myself an Anarcho-Progressive/Voluntaryist-Green-Pirate Atheist Truther Conspirophile Decentralizationalist animator/creative director and Burner (in the Burning Man community, not to be mistaken for a supporter of coward Sanders).

These same beliefs with different labels are why I am starting to think labels are kind of silly. My beliefs, for example, seem to align most with Anarcho-Communism, but could also be seen as simply libertarian with no property taxes and "hey, we should create a gift economy".

Why put beliefs on opposite sides of the political compass when in some circumstances, they are nearly identical? Communism is seen as a governmental system; but what I believe is more of an ideal, and doesn't rely on the government for any more than not obstructing it. "Communism" can mean idealist totalitarianism that completely fails to some people, and a gift economy to others, and "Capitalism" can mean corporatocracy to some, but free market to others. This means that my ideal society, by some measures, is simultaneously capitalist and communist, since it aspires to be gift economy while still being free-market. This just doesn't make sense for supposedly opposing systems, and is why I think it might be better to use alternative terms, such as Reverse Totalitarianism/Corpratocracy, Libertarianism, free-market, gift economy, and State Capitalism.

I'll call myself an Anarcho-Marxist Progressive sometimes but the knee-jerk reactions to folks who don't know the differences between Marx and socialism and communism have forced me to be an Anarcho-Progressive. I also am forced to explain how I like decentralized small-scale Marxist ideas like worker coops.

I'll never be an Anarcho-Communist or Anarcho-Capitalist (Libertarian). Communism = totalitarianism, Captialism = inverted-totalitarianism - both state domination ideologies.

I went to Burning Man 10 times. Now that's a gift economy worth fighting for. Sure there are left-hand path folks there, like anywhere, but there's so much more to it that is never expressed in MSM hysteria about it. If anything it's the anti-cult cult or a DIY-non-cult cult that's mostly too good to be true.

I like "Corporatocracy" a lot. It means the same thing as the classic "fascism" definition but that term like "Libertarianism" and "free-market" are so loaded with misinformation propaganda they're almost useless but for among those who actually know about it.

I think that is why they said "most leftists" rather than saying it applies to all leftists.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Naw. That's like saying most leftists are sheeple without a brain. I don't buy it.

Half of everyone is stupider than average. And the other half is forced to tolerate their shit.

That's why the Corprate Dems exploit them and the freethinkers have less choice, always rigged.
