The Formula
If I care about...
- (Group 1: the victim... please select one or more)
- women
- gays
- transgendered
- blacks
...then I have a license to belittle, harrass, and disrespect people who are...
- (Group 2: the privileged... please select one or more)
- men
- straights
- cys-gendered
- non-blacks
...and anyone who criticizes my arguments in favor of the same victims.
The Mentality of the Enforcer
"The privileged" (Group 2) have no ground on which to demand common decency unless they first pound their chests about how privileged they are.
Unless they understand the depths of their guilt, we will treat them in accordance with that guilt.
By treating "the privileged" badly, I am being kind. I am increasing net kindness in the world. And I am only being mean to people who deserve it. Their lack of inclusiveness as evident by their lack of making similar noises is all the evidence I need of their bigotry.
There is no live-and-let live with bigots. You can't ignore them. You have to shout them down and make civilized conversation impossible for them.
Only by making the right noises can they prove their innocence. Maybe then they can they be permitted to be heard.
You can tell a person isn't a bigot because they also shout down bigots. Support these people.
Anyone who disagrees is a bigot or is giving comfort to the status quo. They stand in the way of social progress. They need to be treated like bigots.
If I have identified a new type of victim that other people aren't including, I've changed the game and I'm a winner. I get to mistreat any people who don't acknowledge this unsung victim until they start making the right noises. I love this game!
In the end, the world is going to be such a kind and inclusive place!
I'm really making the world better!
Pooping rainbows and love out of my ass is amazing!
