association-of-free-people:dontneedfeminism2:mr-cappadocia:Black People : They can’t be racist. :)They’d fit right in over at Stormfront.Exactly. This illustrates the paradox at the dark heart of progressivism that is ultimately going to destroy it. It is a movement based purely on identity politics while superficially being opposed to them in a broad and ill defined vision. This paradox flares up regularly. Take for instance the prog notion of gender fluidity where we can cross back and forth between male and female identities. I have no problem with people being what they want to be, where the conflict arises for the progressive is that they predicate public policy on these identities. So does gender mean everything or not? It cannot be both and if I can be whatever I like it makes your authoritarian and discriminatory legislation meaningless.They have this problem with race too. We saw it first with Rachel Dolezal. It flared up with her and faded away. Shaun King is a white dude masquerading as a black man and leader of BLM. Somehow he still has a modicum of credibility. Even here they aren’t sure how to handle the issue because they can’t objectively judge reality without washing out the underpinnings of their false ideology.To be a prog true believer has to be an exhausting act of constant double think. Anyone who has spent time in debate or conversation with one of them knows you don’t have to dig very deep into their minds to strike cognitive dissonance engaging the wall of regurgitated dogma that shoots up defensively in order to shut down their cognition.Many “hate racism” but are literally racists. They’re for “equality” but advocate policies and legislation that are expressly discriminatory. They are “fighting the man” while advancing state primacy and power in our lives. Just picking apart the notion of social justice exposes them. Justice is not social. It’s an individual experience. The delusion of social justice leads to massive injustice and the inexcusable blind spots that allow a politician like Bernie Sanders to claim that there are no poor white people.All of these bizarre and conflicting beliefs often lead to a tangled mess of neuroses making progressives who aren’t straight up racists like this clown victims of their own absurd ideology. -- source link
