@robbienorlyn @terryb @menelion @gavi So here's the thing. If you have to put this much effort into explaining a concept or series of concepts, then said concepts should have never been injected into politics/culture because they will inevitably be reduced to their crudest form and leveraged for power, which is the thing the implementation of these concepts was supposed to prevent. Instead, we have a flowering of antisemitism and other bigotries: including ableism and bigotry against some arbitrary normal, which in this case manifests as bigotry against anyone perceived as white, especially straight white males. This is no different than Augustine and other church fathers' constant pollemicization against the Jews only to then admonish that they should not be harmed. And we all know where that ended up.
