Thats why the complaint is rich. If members of the right fear being labeld as alt right then they really ought to get their house in order.
I happen to think social, political and economic justice are worthwhile goals to pursue and dont care that those goals.have become snarl words.
Not really, no. The way I see it, you've got the moderate Republicans, then you've got the social conservatives, then you've got the Tea Party, and whatever is left over is pretty much the alt-right. These groups aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. But they all oppose progressives.
It's rather hard to pin down exactly what the fuck the alt-right believes, since it seems to be more of an umbrella term for all sorts of shit. What I do know is that it includes some of the most insufferable people on the right I've ever seen. Because, as Milo said, young rebels are attracted to it because it challenges social norms. And they tend to rattle off inane shit in a very arrogant manner without actually having a clue.
When you "Care" about the ongoing inequality by causing riots, staging protests that help nobody and in general just form circles to pat each other on the back, sure.
Claiming "The Patriarchy is an evil white man system there to keep minorities and women down" while White Working class people are STILL being treated just as badly as ever is the height of contradictory shit.
Most "Social Justice" folk are people from the rich or middle class, trying to pawn off any guilt they have for their riches on pyramid schemes and petty politics.
If #Blacklivesmatter cared about Black Lives, REAL Black Lives, they'd be out in the Ghettos, funding schools and opening programs to stop violence and crime, not trying to make White people feel more guilty for things not in their control.
Pretty sure this is off topic, but deserves a rant anyway.
I want these liberal arts majors and these social studies dropouts to shut the fuck up about non-issues like Gender or Fat Shaming and to tackle REAL social issues. Black people die to gang violence, entire families are plunged into Ghettos and never have chances to get out and people like Black Lives matter don't give a rat's ass, they go after a statistically small part of Black deaths and blame the white people on it.
I have done my little bit of community work, I worked with a handicapped office that worked to give disabled people jobs so they can FEEL like productive members of society despite how heavily addled the poor sods were. Where are the Social Justice Warriors there? Nowhere. Because there is no glory in getting your hands dirty in actual work. Instead they make Committees and "Communities" where they just pat each other on the back for raising "Awareness".
Take the gloriously Feminist Emma Watson's "HeforShe" movement on how vapid and hollow this entire progressive movement is.
I want to end racism, I want a world where people are colourblind and cultures are not hating on creed, Gender or Sexuality. We don't get that by going backwards, thought policing what people say and segregation. So no Nixx, I don't intend for people to be quiet and stop rocking the boat, I intend for these people to stop rocking the boat and start paddling so we can all progress together.
Thank you for the insider information.
I am glad it worked out in the end with your family.
Islam embracing trans people seems peculiar at first, but I remember watching a docu some years ago where Muslim countries have many goverment-sponsored sex changes, because they'd rather have a man change into a woman than him being gay ( as weird as this sounds).
The underground scene also doesnt suprise me one bit.
I am not sure if Islam will modernize naturally tbh. European muslims tend to form a microcosmos, places with high amount of muslim infrastructure and population, where they do not even have to know the native language of the country they are in the least. Modernizing out of necessity seems out of the question.
Another thing are the islamic fundamentalists, who need to be stripped from power and influence so the religion can truly be compatible with western culture.
