Looks like Coronavirus xenophobia has hit The TTC
- Thread starter Charlemagne
- Start date
How in the world did you arrive at that absurd conclusion?
At no time did I question whether the picture was of the supposed assailant
My point is Charlemagne applied his stereotype of what a right wing racist "looks like", when there is zero evidence of what this guys motivation was or what his political views are
To make it all the more ironic and hypocritical Charlemagne did this in thread about xenophobia which he started
But I guess when one posts moral indignation on so many topics and at such a pace, it must be tough to keep track of when you contradict your self
But then if he cant keep track of what he truly believes in, what is the value of his posts?
The same value as any other propaganda, comic relief at best, or cause for concern that some people might actually buy this sort of trash
Emotional?
Well laughter and disbelief could be called emotional responses
That is what came to mind when you contradicted your self by applying your "He looks like a Right Wing racist" stereotype into "a picture" no less in a thread you started on xenophobia

Right Wing racists tend to have certain looks to them that transcend race, class, gender.
White men are not discriminated against in this country btw.

‘No Chinese allowed’: Racism and fear are now spreading along with the coronavirus:

You cannot be racist to the a group that is not discriminated against, and is the status quo. Seems like you have no idea what you are talking about.
That is stereotyping plain and simple
Something you apparently want to change
Is that how you aim to solve inequality? ie make sure White men receive increased discrimination?

Getting a little frustrated at been shown as a hypocrite are you?
I am all for equality of opportunity. Everyone should have an unobstructed path to be as productive as possible
If there are barriers due to gender or race which prevent individuals from competing for positions, those barriers need to be eliminated
I am however opposed to equality of outcome, as that just imposes a different type of barrier and eliminates competition, drive, ambition, assumption of risk and ultimately progress in a capitalist society
It also introduces "wealth redistribution" which violates property rights and
It also introduces judgment calls on the value of productivity, something the market currently values and values correctly
Are you sure you did not really mean to say " You and the right wing idiots on this board are against socialism/ communism for everyone."
Other than the idiot insult, I would agree, "Yeah Thank you, but no thank you to the offer of socialism / communism " They tried that in the 20th century and sadly we lost count of number millions of dead bodies it created, So sorry, not interested
