In the recent past many blacks felt white America considered them inelegant or unintellectual. Many working-class whites felt and feel the same about themselves. At present, liberals are inventing new prejudices against lower-class whites. “It is now almost mandatory to hate deplorables.”

No, it's a pot calling the kettle black (and then whining about prejudice) situation.

Y'all are far from coy, is there some reason that what you say is actually not what you think? Cause you're running your mouths all the fucking time.

Does this fool leftists? Who buys this shit? I hear what you say, read what you post, and I see what you do. I grew up with y'all. You're not complicated, and you'd better find another audience if you want someone to believe that you are.

And yet you cannot answer a questionnaire and accurately answer as to what conservatives believe. You have a ridiculous parody in your mind. That's what the data shows.

I do not speak for "leftists".

But every aspect of life in the USA indicates very clearly that conservatives lie like goddamn rugs.

My advice: stop being ridiculous parodies, and then you can discontinue this ridiculous "we're victims!" charade.

The evidence doesn't support this ridiculous conclusion. However, this is exactly what someone would say who is ignorant about what the opposition believes.

So sad that you can't stop veering into accusing The Other of desiring what you consider a sacred value: being a victim. I'm merely stating that the data support the conclusion that the left has no idea what conservatives value or what they think, and you somehow twist it into victimology.

Well pony the fuck up.

So sad that you can't stop whining about being called black while calling the kettle black.

But I have not missed the irony of conservatives trying to steal pages from the liberal playbook.

Right. That was "We're misunderstood!" A close cousin, of course, of the "We're victims!" from previous posts.

I thought SJWs like you didn't believe in evidence, logic and reason? Those are Enlightenment values, that created racism, slavery and white supremacy. But just in case anyone else is reading this:

And in a survey of 2,000 Americans, Haidt found that self-described liberals, especially those who called themselves “very liberal,” were worse at predicting the moral judgments of moderates and conservatives than moderates and conservatives were at predicting the moral judgments of liberals. Liberals don’t understand conservative values. And they can’t recognize this failing, because they’re so convinced of their rationality, open-mindedness and enlightenment.

Johnathan Haidt's research has so far uncovered six evolved psychological mechanisms of social perception, subconscious intuitive understanding, and conscious reasoning. He calls them moral foundations. He ALSO finds that moral foundations are the essential building blocks of human society. In his 2008 TED Talk "The Moral Roots of Liberals and Conservatives" he explains that human society is possible through the use of "all the tools in the toolbox." It's no coincidence that evolution pre-wired them into our brains.

Haidt finds that conservatives use all of them but liberals use about half of them, and of that half mostly just one. There's no conservative moral foundation that is not also a liberal one, but half of the conservative foundations are external to, and inaccessible by, liberal cognition.

When half of the evolved psychological mechanisms of social perception and understanding are essentially unavailable to one's subconscious intuitions and conscious reasoning one is left with no cognitive alternative for understanding people who think differently but to conclude that they're afflicted with some sort of mental dysfunction.

A conversation about social issues between a liberal and a conservative is like a conversation about rainbows between a color blind person and a fully sighted one in which the color blind liberal "knows" that the sighted conservative is an extremist nut case because he sees moral colors that "everybody knows" are just not there, and conservative think liberals are misinformed because they DON'T see moral colors that everybody knows ARE there.

R. R. Reno concluded his review of The Righteous Mind in the magazine First Things as follows:

"Thus the profound problem we face. Liberalism is blind in one eye, yet it insists on the superiority of its vision and its supreme right to rule. It cannot see half the things a governing philosophy must see, and claims that those who see both halves are thereby unqualified to govern."

You're not talking to a SJW. You clearly don't understand who you're talking to. You are repeatedly doing everything you're accusing everyone else of.

But every aspect of life in the USA indicates very clearly that conservatives lie like goddamn rugs.

The evidence doesn't support this ridiculous conclusion.

Note the type of evidence that you were actually asked to produce.

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

You're changing the subject. Typical.

You sure are an SJW. You're one of the Reddit Hate Brigade.

You're changing the subject.

That's all you got? That's ask you could come up with? Pony up the evidence you claimed to have.

Typical. You sure are an SJW. You're one of the Reddit Hate Brigade.

You keep doing the same thing you're accusing others if, and whinging about.

You're a real one trick pony. You need some new lines of bullshit.

I'm not a member of the Reddit Hate Brigade, on this website for no other reason that to destroy and demoralize. You are.
