The Pushback against Leftism

Blue and pink are also referring to the sexes.

I don't use the term gender anymore anyway. Because it was traditionally associated with sex. So it creates too much confusion, maybe deliberately.

So I simply refer to someone's personal expression. And within the binary of sex, you can have an infinite of personal expressions.

Keeps things much simpler and is completely accurate.

If you agree that racial segregation was on the wrong side of history, and it clearly was, it's now making a comeback - by the left.

Just when you think this kind of nonsense cannot sink any further, racial segregation is introduced.

Utter madness.

Imagine if there were a student event that "banned black people". There'd rightly be an uproar!

We're not talking about support groups, though. And funny you bring that up, because many female support groups are unhappy that trans women are allowed to attend. So, you chose a bad example to prove your point.

Your example is silly because homophobes are unlikely to actively want to attend a homosexual support group.

But many white people may very well want to be involved with black history events and so on. You are comparing fascist homophobes to white people, in other words, putting them in the same category as "potentially predatory" to be around.

i think "all or nothing" across every facet of socially/economically left/liberal leaves any movement unwilling to prioritise or compromise fatally vulnerable to attack by a hostile media and the obvious combined interests of business/capital/whatever

if corbyn, for instance, had dropped say ten percent of the far end of his stance on some of the items the general public either found unpalatable or simply not a priority, he was probably going to be prime minister and still have the most ambitious left manifesto seen in britain since the 1970s

he wasnt willing or able to do that and left/liberal discussion on message boards today still revolves around the same three or four twitter sticking points that really shouldnt be standing in the way of obliterating vested interests like the tories.

i think online social liberal inflexibility has done more damage than that grouping will ever admit, because the right will never apologise for doing what needs to be done to maintain its interests, while the left will tear itself apart before it makes a compromised decision.

and so it goes

A referendum that nobody wants, sure.

No, it's not actually.

That's just the kind of comment you get from a side that's losing the argument.

No, you don't.

If there were white events that banned black people, you don't need to find the reverse in society in order to identify that event as racist and apartheid in effect.

By classifying the black-only events as "safe spaces", it necessarily implies that white people, on the whole, are somehow a threat to black people.

That is a racist declaration, as it would be if white people sought a "safe space" from black people.

The principle is exactly the same, and equally as racist.

They can impose whatever rules they wish.

What we're saying is that these rules are racist, apartheid rules.

No amount of linguistic obfuscation can escape that conclusion.

You do understand that generalisations and collective punishment of a race is...racist?
