Date: August 12th, 2015 12:12 AM Author: motley school cafeteria i heard an actual black rights activist on NPR yesterday make the case that "check your privilege" is fucking stupid because no one knows what it is suppose to prompt, like if a white dood checks his privilege and acknowledge "yes i have privilege," big whoop black people are in literally the same boat as when they started (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2961012&forum_id=2#28532286) |
Date: August 11th, 2015 11:57 PM Author: exhilarant free-loading newt Much of the problem with the social left is that it has no material goals. If it had one, it was perhaps gay marriage, but that has since been achieved. But what is the endgame for feminists chanting for better treatment by society, etc. etc.? The carnival has continued to a point at which corporate America has become extremely friendly – almost absurdly so – towards their rhetoric. Intelligent feminists will recognize that they can expect little more from further campaigning – they have succeeded in making society conscious of their concerns, and the success of women henceforth must come of their seizing the opportunities won by their efforts. But the less-reasonable factions of the movement take the rise of feminism as an opportunity to push their narrative for its own sake. Thus the movement becomes divided – and, as you suggest, reasonable people become less and less interested in associating with it as the publicized rhetoric becomes increasingly radical.
Feminists, the African-American population, etc. may demand better treatment – and they may have an argument in some cases – but there are only so many changes which can be brought from the top-down by people in power. Once they are, those left shouting are ultimately complaining about prevailing social norms which they must act to change on their own, and which take time to evolve (e.g. the status of women, inner-city African-American culture, etc.). When all that can be done deliberately has been done, anyone still pushing the narrative does so either to satisfy their need for attention or in hopes of receiving special benefits from business and the government. |

Date: August 12th, 2015 12:14 AM Author: motley school cafeteria black rights activist i mentioned in above comment made that point, too - that there's only so much you can "teach society" about privilege/equal treatment/etc. when most of us are barely even literate, and most of it is on blacks to carpe diem (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2961012&forum_id=2#28532296) |

Date: August 12th, 2015 12:31 AM Author: exhilarant free-loading newt Sincere ty brother. I’ve thought a bit about starting a blog or something of the sort, though I haven’t yet looked deeply into how one goes about building a sizable and sustainable audience (I think another poaster poasted a similar question just an hour or so ago). I’m open to suggestions from anyone with experience. But, in any case, I liek it here. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2961012&forum_id=2#28532417) |

Date: August 12th, 2015 12:14 AM Author: Histrionic shitlib plaza shitlibs are largely benign because they have no real goals. they just want you to chant the right things and profess your belief that #blacklivematter or whatever. you don't actually have to do anything. it's like religion.
this is why corporate America is so friendly to shitlibs. they're smart enough to realize that they pose zero threat to anything. i hope shitlibs never go away because it's when they stop doing this meaningless bullshit that you might actually see bad changes in the form of higher taxes etc. |

I agree with everything in your post but I'd also argue that its a symptom of our political discourse and not just the province of the "social left". Realistic material goals that can achieve broad support are anathema to those who are the most politically active and those who consume the most media. This leads to a cycle where angry revolutionary voices advance fringe ideas and make unrealistic, vague, and stupid promises, they achieve power, they (or their party) inevitably disappoint, years later they get called fakes/phonies/corrupt/DINO's/RINO's/cucks, a new "pure" leader or movement emerges and the cycle repeats itself.
"but there are only so many changes which can be brought from the top-down by people in power."
Agreed, especially as it relates to social and cultural changes. But this can also be said of Trump's most fervent supporters. They are motivated by their fight for their unrealistic cultural vision of the country and are more than willing to cede most tax, budgetary, and regulatory policy to the elements of the party they hate the most.

Date: August 17th, 2018 11:35 AM Author: Razzle-dazzle light crotch chapel I think you're right to a degree. The core of the carnival is trying to drag the discourse even further left (tranny kids, homeless ppl in Sbux bathrooms) but the hangers-on who were on board during the Obama years have definitely left. Media is shifting more traditional with remakes, etc. and even journalists are deleting old anti white tweets. College campus rhetoric is basically gone from the public discourse.
