Best litmus tests for detecting reactionaries?
Best litmus tests for detecting reactionaries?
What are the go-to subjects for revealing the true, regressive beliefs of reactionaries who don't consider themselves reactionary? Off the top of my head:
-Trans people in sports: Major gateway to transphobia and misogyny. Complaints about trans athletes inevitably lead to sexism towards literally any woman with muscles. Pretty sure this is how Joe Rogan and a ton of his supporters became so unhinged.
-Affirmative action: So, so many liberals and "leftists" will complain about how they would've totally gotten into Harvard and Yale if not for The Blackstm. Love to bring up SAT scores even though they've been proven to be racist and classist and a shit metric for intellectual value.
-Shakespeare authorship question: A bit niche. Basically, Curtis Yarvin and other Dark Enlightenment dweebs don't think that Shakespeare was capable of penning such timeless plays because he wasn't rich, and according to them, not rich=dumb and uncreative mental husk.
You're viewing a single thread.
race based reparations weeds them out quick.
Or any mention of reparations for Black people. Critics will go on and on about how infeasible they supposedly are. Basically, they think that Black people's hardships are less serious than every other groups' and that literally everyone would have to get reparations before they do, thus making the process too expensive.
which is made extra ironic because fucking Italians have gotten more reparations than black people. SLAVE OWNERS got reparations. america loves handing out reparations just not to black people.
fucking Italians have gotten more reparations than black people
What the fuck.... This can't be real
and thats 25,000 in 1892 money. no reparations for the 4700 known black lynching victims
The Union literally wanted to do this after the civil war, but I guess its not enough money or something.
yeah but then this kerfuffle happened at a play
