JIDF shills detected, lol just kidding

OP what you say is true but for a multitude of reasons and not just because a Jewish conspiracy. As part of the age we live in with the internet and social media fringe-worldviews can make themselves appear more mainstream. Also of course there are non-white people that intellectually have nothing against white and may even respect them but subconsciously or emotionally may resent them because of the history of colonization, slavery, racism etc.

Also /lit I think as a whole is less likely to recognize the phenomena you describe because it has been very slow to infect mainstream literature. Most of the stuff /lit talks about has none of it so if they are more likely to dismiss it as /pol conspiracies.

Oh and not everyone who agrees with OP is a MRA or someone claiming to be oppressed.

Because post-modernity shifts heroic value from action to essence; it is a thorough revaluation of all values, where mediocrity, baseness, and general below-average behavior is considered as valuable, and thus everything originally valuable appears as a means of oppression and domination, as something fundamentally evil: in a post-modern society, the righteous and powerful is a villain, the poor and beaten is a hero.

Post-modernity acknowledges life as a game, yet produces nothing but sore losers.

Where? As in, show me where this demonization is happening. Are you going to show me a) a screencap of a Tumblr post? b) a 300-word thinkpiece from a stupid blog? c) some news article from Scandinavia?

OP, have you ever felt seriously threatened or oppressed for being white, male or straight in society? In a way that is comparable to all the politically-sanctioned, violent and legitimately dehumanizing ways in which women and minorities were excluded from society in the past, and are still discriminated against in the present?

"Oh, but those were my ancestors, what fault do I have?" You exclaim. You have no fault, obviously. You're just experiencing what every other person who doesn't belong to you demographic experiences in society, to a minor degree.

Countless times.

Just recently I had a job interview where I was being interviewed by two women who were both 6 and 7 out of 10 respectively.

They grilled me on my "qualifications". They fucking loved doing it. I could probably do their jobs a million times better, yet they got to be in the position of power, and they relished the fuck out of it.

They loved the fact that a superior male is begging THEM for a job, and they get to deem me "unworthy"--just like how chad deemed them unworthy in highschool.

That article did not call for any particular white person to pay reparations, but rather the state. The idea was that a racially biased and discriminatory state was obligated to make amends for it.

/lit/ thinks it's the best educated board, maybe it is, but that doesn't mean these anons are able recognize the emerging trends and counter cultures. The discourse, especially institutional discourse (college professors, news networks, publications), is generally playing 'catch up' to the movement(s) of a particular society, it's not inspiring them (at least not in an easily discernible or direct way).

This place is better for discussing the historical/philosophical past than it is the current. Combined with the fact that we are in a peculiar period where being the 'slave' or the oppressed allows for a 'holier than thou' position from which to lecture from, so that even the more dominant forces in a society wish to perpetuate an image of themselves as underrepresented, misunderstood, radical, rebellious, etc., it should be noted that, despite its prevalence, leftist theory (particularly critical theories of race and class) will never be acknowledged as domineering or the status quo.

Because it lacks the material and political power to force any changes. All the left wing criticism about the US foreign policy had little effect. They are at best a thorn in the side of the wealthy who have seen their assets increase. Their criticism about race have not stopped the drug war, police brutality, or other state and federal practices. Most public outcries don't amount to shit.

The statistics do vary. Crime occurs largely in areas with communities below the poverty belt. Here I am in a very homogenous (white) part of the South, and black crime is practically unheard of. We have white tweakers killing other white people to fund their meth habits, white ghetto kids killing other white ghetto kids, fucked up white kids who kill more privileged white kids, etc. When black crimes finally do occur, the media is all over that shit. Forget the fact that some whit kid just shot up a school, they want to do a 10-part series on that black guy who held up a liquor store instead.

As far as race and crime correlation, there is none. There is, however, a strong correlation between poverty and crime. If you live in an area that's mostly black and is incidentally below the poverty line, then of course it's going to be plagued with rampant black-on-black crime. Again, it's the same ordeal here in the white parts of the South. We're all poor, come from shitty families, and are severely fucked up as a result.

Ill answer your question with a story, the story is the oldest story of all, a story that the Jungle Media has tried to take out of the books, because they dont like it, but it tells the story of how white people were created as a race apart from the mutated monkey people who formed the Jungle Media and control the information about the true story and that's what happened so far in the story.

The next part is that the whole group of all the Gods sat in council on the nipple of the World Boob, the biggest boob the planet had back then, and thought about how they really fucked it up the first time, and the jungle people bred like rabbits and beat their wives so bad that they fuck the babies eyes up and turn their body yellow with a bruise now there squints up in Asia and in China they have sex with rats and that's how the plague happened

The rest of jungle people went north into the desert on accident but figured out to survive in the desert by cutting upon a camels hump and drinking the hump milk, and they had sex so many little kids their skin turned whiter but they still had gross pubes all over their body that fell off the goats when they putting their dicks in their butts too and thats why there hairy and smell like gross sex for their lives

The next thing to happen is that the Gods were like damn we fucked up time to do better and so the biggest god of all and also the smartest told the others to shut up for 3 years so he could think, and he sat on the highest point of the world, the World Boobs nipple center, and then finally he was like goddamn thats a tight idea and he flexed his pex and a white dude flew out of his right pec and then his left pec didnt do shit

then the big god felt a touch at his shoulders and his dick that was also a thing that could talk was the one who poked him and it said "im feeling very bad, i think i need to be sick" and the god said "oh no i think your safe" and the trowser snake said "thanks for being a big help but ill be right back" and it knelt over and barfed up a ball of phlegm and mucus and white bitch nectar

anyway that parts not that important but the ball of that gross shit had the first woman in it and they were both like gross dude. go clean yourself up. and the first woman was pissed but then 40 babies or something flew out of the big gods left pec and so they were ready to start the white people

then later on the white people sailed into the real world and started beating the shit out of the squinting rat people and the jungle people and the pube dudes. and before the white people came shit was mad gay. and white people saw that shit and were like nahhhh thats done with and they created science and laws

but the jungle people came together with the rat people and the other idiot halfpeople and decided to create the Jungle Confederacy. and that was when they decided to start telling nothing but lies and the Jungle Media helped too
