Yea something about the new left, especially the white progressive self loathing kind that really trigger me...
I have no respect for anyone who hate themselves and have no self respect...
I have never met a white person who is ashamed of being white or who hates themselves for being white. I have met plenty of intelligent and emotionally mature white folks who can discuss issues of race, economy, and history without impulsively becoming defensive or projecting their own identity on the basis of the color of their skins.
The fact that some persons think that it's more likely that millions of white people think like what you say (hate themselves on a basis that they freely know and argue to be in itself arbitrary) than that those persons are just being more objective and not impulsively defensive of their own self interests is just weird.
Either that, or the group of people that you're referring to
does have some type of belief system consistent with what you're saying, but is so obscure in numbers that representing them to be any kind of meaningful voting block or reason to oppose (basically the entirety of) sensible policy in other areas is also just weird.
Like....that you could point to a white person like
@Fawlty, compare him to a person such as yourself or further on the crazy scale to Soul Crusher, and think that
he, Fawlty, is the one who is irrational about his racial identity. Just blows my mind. You are someone who is completely intellectually able to appreciate (and probably do in fact realize) the objective fraudulence and insincerity of right-wing policy in areas like campaign finance, macroeconomics (financial regulation/deficit spending), consumer protections, environmental regulation, and a myriad of other issues where the policies of the two sides aren't even in the same ballpark. Yet you'll align yourself with the right wing on the basis that there is some amount of people on the left who "hate white people," many or most of whom are white themselves. That's really fucking crazy to me.
