Commentary Rules
- Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.

- Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.

I do so love being the most awful gender of the most awful race of the most awful country of the most awful species in the worst of all possible worlds.
And I’m supposed to make friends with these assholes?
Whatever this is, doesn't work and wont solve anything.
If you're american, get some guns and take a play from their book. The idea that liberty is the base position for humanity is wrong. You actually have to go and do something.
But if I’m white and have guns I am an oppressor.
No, it really doesn't work like that. That would only be the case if those who oppose you doesn't have weapons.
Unless you plan on using it to help ICE, of course.
You're only an oppressor if you oppress people. No one has original sin, regardless of the color of their skin
It’s not original sin. It’s being part of the one group that has been historically been the absolute worst.
This isn’t eschatology, it’s history and current events.
Until white men stop being such consistent assholes I will not feel good about being a white man.
Oh yes, grouping together every medieval male peasant, blue collar worker in Poland, and Seattle hipster with the likes of Hitler and Stalin. Like honestly, why are you acting like white men are a hive mind or something? Like I'm sure the lonely lighthouse keeper in 1862 England is just as evil as Hitler.
Average it out, like this map does, and you start to see a pattern.
You shouldn't average it out. People are individuals. Do you think racist shit like 13/50 holds weight?
I don’t know how you can look at a world run into the ground by white males and not think they’re the absolute worst.
I really don't know what to tell you, except stop being racist, and stop hating yourself for things outside your control. It's not healthy.
But I don't think you're in the right mindset to listen, especially to a random on the Internet.
Have you tried therapy?
That's a little self hating, don't you think? Not to mention sexist and racist.
Catch bullets fascist
