The Time Has Come to Let Go of 'Harry Potter'
The Wizarding World isn’t the moral sanctuary it once was. And because we're all adults now, we have to acknowledge that.

The hilarious thing is that this is Rome trying to be SYMPATHETIC to trannies and their ilk. The document basically says that you shouldn't be an asshole to trannies, you shouldn't kill them, and that it's important to be nice to them. It just also says that you have to guide them to the truth, and the truth is that their entire ideology is completely wrong.

This is pure white supremacy. In quite a lot of poor countries menstrual taboos does still kill. Therefore raging about "menstural art" is simply white supremacy but in another shape.

So it's quite simple. Either you're on the same side as white supremacists and trannies, or you're on the same side as those who wants to make menstruation less taboo. A bunch of UWUs fucking up shit for women in the backwards countries won't help anyone.

hmmmmm? Anyway, I'm not a leftist, but these kinds of "he didn't literally say he hates x" arguments are very bad. I'm not saying leftists don't have an "agenda" behind their statements, they do, but at they don't pretend they aren't pro-whatever like you faggots pretend to be "just posting facts bro I'm not promoting a certain interpretation of them at all"

They do that literally all the time.
Pretty much every Leftist position is a farce, because its based upon the presupposition that we shouldn't treat [x] differently.
Then they form gay pride parades and marches about black people and their tenuous relationship with the justice system.

If Leftists didn't think trannies weren't repugnant subhumans they wouldn't need to make so much propaganda about trans acceptance.

If Leftists didn't think blacks were weak and stupid they would enforce the same standard of ethical behavior they do on white people.

Your post doesn't make any sense. I don't see how that relates to my post. Anyway:
>Pretty much every Leftist position is a farce, because its based upon the presupposition that we shouldn't treat [x] differently.
It's a farce because it's based on a presupposition? All knowledge is based on presuppositions. I think you are equivocating here. If you assume that that presupposition is true, it's a "farce" in the sense that it's wrong, but not in the sense of being dishonest/misleading, which is what you are trying to prove.
>If Leftists didn't think trannies weren't repugnant subhumans they wouldn't need to make so much propaganda about trans acceptance.
That makes no sense. It's perfectly reasonable to think that they don't believe they are repugnant,but know that conservatives think otherwise, and therefore try to change their opinion through "propaganda". I think that requires less assumptions than them secretly finding trannies repugnant.
>If Leftists didn't think blacks were weak and stupid they would enforce the same standard of ethical behavior they do on white people.
You're strawmanning here. They believe the issues, socio-economical and cultural, affecting blacks are very complex, that's why people justify their actions as a group. They don't apply the same standard as they do on white people because they can't - they are different groups, suffering from both common and specific problems.

Who cares? When we say 'private', I mean it in a looser sense. Discussion/assertion on an online platform is largely meaningless.

Do you really think someone is going to be violent to trans people bc 'jkr told me to'? Because if its anything short of violebt oppression, theres no reason for outrage. Even misgendering someone is a laughable offense. Who gives a fuck? Trans people need to be less fragile, need to affirm their own views with more conviction.

1350 is usually just a response to people decrying the US justice system as unfair because black people are so much more likely to end up in prison than white people. People posting these stats are just trying to show that higher rates of incarceration in some groups are due to higher rates of criminality, not a racist justice system.
I'm sure (most of) the people posting those stats support civil rights, and aren't calling for genocide or anything, just defending the justice system as not completely broken. I think society agrees that we'd all like to change the fact that so many black people are in jail. Unfortunately, because we aren't allowed to state the basic fact that different races commit crimes at different rates without being called racist, we can't look past an allegedly broken justice system to see that the way to fix the problem is to change the circumstances of black communities to try and prevent them from committing so much crime.
Instead people are only allowed to think that everyone is the same, so if one group is in jail more than another it's because police are bad and we need to police the black community less.
