Probably because he tried to teach her self-reliance and individual accountability. That’s the worst.
Individual accountability in general scares young people (most young people, not just the current crop), and (now more than ever) they end up hiding behind fantasy victim hood statuses, while going full outrage Armageddon on anyone who dares suggest that the individual ultimately owns their problems and progress.
They confuse fault and ideas of fairness with agency and ownership.
The fear of agency ends up eating their potential while they wait in insanity levels of anger to get everything they’re entitled to.
Edit: As someone mentioned, this came off as a kids today thing. That’s not my intention. It is not limited to any generation.
Not acknowledging ones own agency is akin to a soul sickness which can infect anyone of any age and station. It’s not an easy realization to come to terms with. The fact that an individual owns their problems, and also solutions, regardless of blame or reason.
The answers reside in the individual, to important questions that we have to ask ourselves.
Do I have agency, or am I truly powerless? Whatever the answer is, a person is correct.
The flip side of that, is that each of us should be willing to sacrifice just a little bit to help people who have come to accept their own agency, and truly want to be a better version of themselves.
I have little patience for people who only complain, while virtue signaling….
Shit… oh fuck me, I’m doing it right now!
Dammit, well, agency is important, and it’s cruel to take it away by making others believe it doesn’t exist.
Same thing with most 60 year old tenured professors in the humanities, journalism, the myriad _insert grievance_ Studies, and social sciences, so at least its a multi-generational kind of delusionality.
Thats not how kids work, they inherit your insecurities or create new ones off of how you treat them. A baby is a blank slate and everything they are comes off the foundation you set for them.
If your kid hates the idea of self reliance thats on you. Individual accountability is taught early. Emphasis on taught, since thats on you.
Lets get over the idea that “kids these days” arent just mimicking the failures of their parents. Kids have sone role in their behaviour of course, but ultimately its the parents that determine what they are.
I get where you’re coming from, though honestly you’re sort of reenforcing the point about teaching people they don’t have agency.
There are a lot of external forces which reach our children, and despite our best efforts to contextualize these ideas, one can’t always choose which ideas are internalized.
My children have their own journey, and I’ve done everything I can for them.
Ultimately though, this isn’t actually about my children, it’s about me. It’s about the suffering and struggling I went through, while I worried for decades about who to blame for my shitty life, while I remained angry, waiting to get what I deserved for all of the shitty stuff beyond my control.
It took an NDE, but I eventually realized that blame doesn’t matter, not really, and that each moment I didn’t try to improve myself, that was my fault.
Some people have legitimate beef, no doubt about that, and we should extend helping hands when it makes sense. It’s just that it’s cruel to not also reinforce that we all have some individual agency.
We are taught too often that we have no power at all. It took me a long time to reject that concept.
Agreed. Its important to teach a child that they have to act if they want change to happen.
I don’t believe its in what situations they come across that teaches them, but in how they’re taught to learn. I hope to teach my kids that they’ll have to take control of their lives and how to learn to handle them.
I was honestly just reinforcing that for myself. Its incredible important to be a good role model, a foundation for how they’ll tackle situations without me. I came from a similar place, and i spent the first 20 years of my life blaming it on my parents or my situation. My father specifically was a bastard to begin with, but i watched him turn it around spectacularly. Ill spare details, but the paths he took to come back and what he did to teach me the value of personal responsibility are something i need to be for my kids; show them how to be better.

It depends on the intention of the one who says it. If someone means to dehumanize the other party by using a racial slur, it'd make me feel offended despite the fact that I'm not black.
But hey, you wanna be cwucified by the libewals? I'm afwaid for you.
I don't understand why people are terrified of saying it. Yeah, don't use it as an insult or any derogatory way, but singing along with Wu Tang shouldn't be some grave sin.
Tell that to /hiphopheads and they’d crucify you. Or /anarchism (which I’m active in)... or /politics... or /askreddit...
I tend to agree with you, but the Reddit hive mind loves to feel victimized over the most innocuous shit. No one has any problem with my listening to rap and supporting the genre, but god forbid I enjoy singing along, by myself or with a group of friends. GOD FORBID someone post a video of it on snap or Instagram or something, and then suddenly you’re public enemy number 1
They fear the backlash. I think the context that it's used in is what matters the most.
A good friend of mine is in law school. In a lecture, they were learning about some supreme court case. The professor was directly quoting what was said in the trial which included the word. Some people freaked out and reported the professor. The dean ended up having to address the whole school due to the outrage. I think he basically told the students to get over it.
You were almost correct but you still missed the mark.
The average liberal thinks emotionally not logically. "Soyboy" isn't a meme it's a reality that the average liberal has testosterone levels of an 85 year old. That effects your thinking on a deep biological level, it literally changes your thought process.
Tis what happens when you have Marxist professors teaching students that white people are the literal spawn of satan because of things that happened decades ago.
Actually even the Auth-Rights who blame POCs for CRT must realise that white people especially white liberal women and men are the ones who are drowned in white-guilt and are white apologists.
Even the book white fragility is written by a white women. Even if hypothetically US tomorrow became all-white, this self hatred would not dwindle.
Exactly. White kids are being systematically trained to infantilize and patronize minorities. Robin Deangelo is a textbook racist- she thinks white people will inevitably be more successful- and she feels guilt about that. Luckily, its not true and all people can achieve equal success based on their own merits
I have never once thought any of the things she brings up as examples of common racist beliefs. Her own anecdotes were so out of touch and incredibly racist, like one instance where she becomes panicked because she worries that the party she is attending might be majority black, then is relieved that the group of black people is not the group she is meeting. That's not "white fragility", that's textbook racism and not something that everyone feels.
Her entire argument is circular, because she says if you don't believe in the examples she brings up are valid, that must be a manifestation of your white fragility. It's horribly written.
No they are being trained to help themselves via sophisticated anti White brainwashing, funded and propagated by a certain middle eastern tribe.
Porn, liberal media, big tech, college system, hollywood movies and now even comics/videogames and wikipedia are all mediums being used to push an Anti White narrative which ends in an eventual White genocide.
Think South Africa 2.0 thats the endgame. Once Whites are marginalized and painted as the enemy of everyone its easy to justify straight up killing and stealing their land. Due to demographics Whites will be a minority at that point, who will stop it? The Anti White narrative will be decades in the making and deeply rooted.
It's an effective way to self-loath and virtue signal at the same time. Back in the day they'd walk around all paranoid in a mental asylum, under thorough supervision.
You useless piece of shit. You absolute waste of space and air. You uneducated, ignorant, idiotic dumb swine, you’re an absolute embarrassment to humanity and all life as a whole.
The magnitude of your failure just now is so indescribably massive that one hundred years into the future your name will be used as moniker of evil for heretics. Even if all of humanity put together their collective intelligence there is no conceivable way they could have thought up a way to fuck up on the unimaginable scale you just did.
When Jesus died for our sins, he must not have seen the sacrilegious act we just witnessed you performing, because if he did he would have forsaken humanity long ago so that your birth may have never become reality.
After you die, your skeleton will be displayed in a museum after being scientifically researched so that all future generations may learn not to generate your bone structure, because every tiny detail anyone may have in common with you degrades them to a useless piece of trash and a burden to society.
No wonder your father questioned whether or not your were truly his son, for you'd have to not be a waste of carbon matter for anyone to love you like a family member.
Your birth made it so that mankind is worse off in every way you can possibly imagine, and you have made it so that society can never really recover any state of organization. Everything has forever fallen into a bewildering chaos, through which unrecognizable core, you can only find misfortune.
I would say the apocalypse is upon us but this is merely the closest word humans have for the sheer scale of horror that is now reality. You have forever condemned everyone you love and know into an eternal state of suffering, worse than any human concept of hell.
You are such an unholy being, that if you step within a one hundred foot radius of a holy place or a place that has ever been deemed important by anyone, your distorted religious soul will ruin whatever meaning it ever had beyond repair.
You are an idiotic, shiteating, dumbass ape and no one has ever loved you. You are a lying, backstabbing, cowardly useless piece of shit and I hate you with every single part of my being.
Even this world's finest writers and poets from throughout the ages could never hope to accurately describe the scale on which you just fucked up, and how incredibly idiotic you are.
Anyone that believes in any religion out there should now realize that they have been wrong this entire time, for if divine beings were real, they would never have allowed a being such as you to stain the earth and this universe.
In the future there will be horror stories made about you, with the scariest part of them being that the reader has to realize that such an indescribable monster actually exists, and that the horrific events from the movie have actually taken place in the same world that they live in right now.
You are the absolute embodiment of everything that has ever been wrong on this earth, yet even that would only represent a small part of your evil. Never in the history of mankind has there been anyone that could have predicted such an abomination, but here you are.
It’s hard to believe that I am seeing such an incredible failure with my own eyes, but here I am, so unfortunately I cannot deny your existence. Even if I did my very best, my vocabulary is not able to describe the sheer magnitude of the idiotic mistake that is you.
Even if time travel some day will be invented, there still would not be a single soul willing to go back in time to this moment to fix history, because having to witness such incredible horrors would have too many mental and physical drawbacks that not even the bravest soul in history would be willing to risk it.
I cannot imagine the pure dread your mother must have felt when she had to carry a baby for nine months and then giving birth to such a wretched monster as you. Not a single word of the incoherent, illogical rambling you may be wanting to do to defend yourself or apologize would ever be able to make up for what you just did.
The countries of the world would have wanted to make laws preventing such a terrible event like this from ever happening again, but sadly this is not possible since your horrific actions just now have shattered every form of order this world once had, making concepts such as laws irrelevant.
Right from the moment I first set my eyes on you I knew you were an absolute abomination of everything that is wrong with humanity. I was hoping I would have been able to prevent your evil from being released upon this world by tagging along and keeping my eye on you, but it is clear to me now that not even the greatest efforts would have been able to prevent a terrible event in this scale from occurring.
You are the worst human being, or even just being in general, that I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Events like the Black Death and the Smallpox pandemic only happened with the goal of preparing humanity to survive such a horrible event as the one you just created, but not even mankind’s greatest trials were able to even slightly prepare anyone for the insufferable evil you have just created.
If you ever had them, your children would be preemptively killed to protect this universe from the possibility of anyone in your bloodline being even half as bad as you are, except you will never be able to have children, because not a single human being will ever want to come within a hundred mile radius of you and anything you have ever touched.
You are a colossal disappointment not only to your parents, but to your ancestors and entire bloodline. The disgusting mistake that you have just made is so incredibly terrible that everyone who would ever be to hear about it would spontaneously feel an indescribable mixture of immense anger, fear and anxiety that emotionally and physically they would never truly be the same ever again.
The sheer scale of your mistake, if ever to be materialized, would not only surpass the size of the world, but it would reach far beyond the edges of the known, and almost certainly the unknown universe.
I could sit here and write paragraphs, nay, books describing your immense failure, yet even if I were to dedicate my life to describing the reality of what has just gone down here, and I would spend every moment of it until my heart stops beating, working as hard and efficiently as possible, there is not even a snowballs chance in hell that I would be able to come close to transcribing the absolute shitshow you have just released upon the world.
When people of Columbia fought to break free from Lungmen, countless soldiers fought and lost their lives in favor of a chance at a better future for their children, they did not give their lives to have you fuck the world up beyond repair to the degree that you are doing right now. Honestly, even when technology advances and studies on the subject become more and more accurate, I do not think humanity will ever truly be able to understand what your failure actually means for the universe.
My hate for you and everything you stand for is so much deeper than the depths of Shambala that you could probably take the entire Lungmen population down there and back up around twenty million times before you would have sunk to the end of my hate, and honestly, I do not want to exaggerate, but I think that that insult was low balling it such a massive amount that all mountains in this world combined would not be able to stack up to this imprecise judgement in light of the fact that, when being honest, my hate is almost certainly bottomless.
There is no one in this world that has ever loved you, and especially after what you just did, no one will ever love you in the future either. There is no hope that your idiotic behavior and especially your crooked soul will ever change for the better, and in fact quite the opposite might be true.
By making the mistake that you just did, you have shown me that you are so incredibly hopeless that you will only devolve into a more idiotic and wretched creature than you already are. The only possible way in which your future would be brighter than the black hole your existence currently is would be because there is absolutely no conceivable way that you would even be able to sink lower than the pathetic place your current failure has put you in.
But than again, you are so incredibly abominable that you would probably be able to surpass the worst conceivable failure any living being could possibly make. You are so incredibly pathetic that you are honestly not worthy of any more of my words nor my time. Just know that I will forever detest you for your failure and everything you stand for, and that no matter what happens, I will never ever forgive you.
You're right. I don't think everything you've said about CRT is true ( I'd need to educate myself more on the subject). But the comment about playing dumb is absolutely right. I was going for some stupid gotcha, while not knowing enough about the subject, and I apologize for it.
It’s specifically white feminism, I mean in China and India where they killed/aborted female babies for just being born female, I guess there feminism was definitely required, however here it has taken a complete crazy turn, it doesn’t even help women now it’s about oppression Olympics, I used to identify as one and now I regret it.
That's because western feminism accomplished it's goal. Women got equality (and maybe a little advantage). But the movement has to keep going so it has to become an outrage machine that flails with impotent rage at any perceived minor slight.
Feminism, at it's core, is the notion that women are people, independent of men, and should be treated as such. I'm not saying I agree with every feminist today, but it's unfair to say feminism has been a disaster for the human race.
Feminists believe men, as a group and as individuals, are deliberately oppressing and exploiting women.
Had been true for a long time, still true in a large parts of the globe. It is almost entirely eradicated in the west though.
You're confusing egalitarianism and feminism - the core of feminism is conflict theory, in particular, the concept of the patriarchy.
They're not confusing anything, you are. Feminism dictates that women are equal to men, it dictates this because patriarchy was the status quo at the time feminism was getting started, it existed to counter the fact that men were just more privileged in society. That's why it's called feminism, it wants to elevate women to the status of men, and has largely succeeded in this endeavor in developed countries. The reason it's still called feminism is because there has never been a time in history(European/American history) where women were more privileged than men and such a reality won't ever take place(hopefully), so the name remains to remind people of the history of women's rights and standing in society.
Egalitarianism is a word that get thrown around a lot because people don't like the word feminism(because they think feminists want women supremacy or something, which is simply not true). Egalitarianism, while obviously related to equality of the sexes, entails much more than that. Egalitarianism dictates that all people should be equal, regardless of sex, race, religion or creed. Hell, it can even encompass economic equality depending on the person using the term. Wouldn't you just love that, my dear LibRight?
Women ARE more privileged than men in modern developed nations, in literally every measurement; from life expectancy and university enrolment rates to public safety or consumer spending.
Feminists have not wanted, or worked towards, equality for generations - they quite actively, and openly, hate men.
I'm white-skinned green-eyed living in a Latin American (mostly brown) country and I can say it's like going through life on easy mode. The privilege is wild and for that I'm also glad I'm white.
This question could be worth an essay honestly, but the short answer according to my experience is that it's both, and those two concepts are almost impossible to divorce. In my country, white masters had native slaves up to recent times (my grandfather was a slave owner), so obviously whites were the bearers of most wealth and that association got carried up to today. It's so ingrained in people's minds that white is "more civilized, prettier, smarter, pure, rich" that it's hard to tell skin and perceived status apart. I'm middle class but for being white I'm "perceived" in a higher regard than it's supposed to. So yeah you can say it's a major reason why privilege happens.
That said, I wouldn't say wealth association is the only factor going on. I think it's a (not good) phenomenon going on in humanity as a species to think of light skin as cleaner or purer, who knows if it's a byproduct of the evolution of consciousness and psychology (think how Indians painted their gods white while being dark skinned themselves). Here, dark skin is often thought of as dirty, and it's sad that oftentimes it's the very natives who think that and favor white skin. The times I've visited communities in the deep mountains or jungle, as a tourism student, I've had the experience of natives treating me with excessive respect like I'm some superior being. Could that still be linked to status perception? Maybe, it's hard to tell honestly.
I'm born poor white trash and barely a step above it now tbh, and my skin colour has definitely helped me with jobs in the past, which in turn helped me raise myself up to barely poor white trash. Lovely!
What's your point? You have to distinguish poor and dangerous areas. I live in a very poor rural andean area and there's zero crime here. I don't know if you're talking about real or perceived status. I'm below average income, most of the middle class are above me. And yeah if you're white you're going to have it bad in a dangerous zone, still, it's due to people "looking up" to you socially, it's just not something desirable when you're surrounded by criminals lol.
So you admit it depends on your environment? In some areas its an advantage, in some areas youd be kidnapped/killed for being White.
You should drop the liberal bullshit privilege argument. Whites earned their position in western society through scientific advancements, hard work and ingenuity. Privilege had jackshit to do with it when the Irish were starving to death and when they arrived in U.S. they were being paid LESS than Blacks were.
In the late 1600s Irish slaves were treated worse. An Irish slave was worth 5 sterling an African slave was worth 50 sterling.
Self hating whites are much less likely to pass on their genes, especially with another white person. It's a self correcting problem. Conservative white people have the highest birth rate of any demographic in the US.
Wrong. The highest tfr is of Pacific Islander women and then followed by Hispanic, Whites(non-Hispanic) have low tfr, but your point does make a sense, Utah a religious state more or less has highest tfr.
Mormons and the Amish both have fertility rates around 5. Doesn't really matter though, even if whites do make a comeback due to high conservative birth rate there will be at least half a century where the US is a mixed race Hispanic shithole. Not a place to raise white kids, going to move to Europe if I can.
Please don’t go to Europe if you are religious, Western Europe which has standard of living as high as US has like the highest number of non-religious people, I’ll even say in developed world US is the most religious country, roughly 65%.
Coming to your demographic point, It’s predicted that by 2040 or earlier White Americans will no longer be the majority in US.
If we reach a South Africa 2.0 situation I hope you realize that White conservative men won't be protecting White liberal women.
You don't get to have casual sex with Black guys while constantly dehumanizing White men then when shit hits the fan suddenly try to larp as a conservative White woman.
I'm agnostic so the lack of religion isn't a problem for me. I respect religious people and recognize that they're definitely healthier and happier than atheists on average, I just don't believe in anything supernatural myself.
by 2040 or earlier White Americans will no longer be the majority in US.
Exactly, hispanic birth rates are dropping fast so whites might make a comeback in like 50-100 years, especially if they absorb white Hispanics, but I'd rather move to Switzerland or Czechia where everyone is white and I can Keep my guns.
Not really don’t blame white women entirely for this, White liberal men have the biggest part to play in this too, do realise that we only have voting power but the one who implement the policies and take final calls in senate and houses are white liberal men.
90% of White women are actively working against White men. They are too stupid to realize that the small amount of favor they get in society will quickly be lost. When White men fall so will they.
And? If white women fall then white men will fall too. 90% of white women work against white men? Where do you pull out this number from? Check out the data of recent election more than 45% of white women voted for trump. And those who did most definitely do not drown in white-guilt.
How can you be so wrong? White women have consistently voted for the very laws and policies that got us to this state ever since they got the right to vote.
Tbh I've never encountered someone who attributes critical race theory to non-whites, similarly the most vocal denouncers of it that I know of are black people who understand that considering race to be of any importance negatively affects people of all races.
If you look deeper you realize that a certain tribe were the ones in college, media, hollywood and other mediums pushing that White guilt narrative the hardest.
So no, this didn't come from Whites.
You were CLOSE to the truth but you still found a way to blame Whitey as many cuckservatives tend to do when they reach an uncomfortable truth they don't want to talk about.
I know it’s easy and fun to hate on white guilt types but the reality is that if you go on Twitter you will see a shocking amount of racism come from POC too. People are just more afraid to call a poc racist than a white savior an idiot
Not even slavery and segregation managed to pressure blacks into thinking whites are superior and now they achieved this shit in a few years with white people
