The definition of racism extended to such a degree that it looks like "classism" rather . It is not merely about the skin tone anymore; it's about "we can kick your arse and therefore we should while we still can".
Modern variants of racism are often based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. These views can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems in which different races are ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. - Wikipedia
I'd say, the fundamental conflict is between power and no-power, which is seen as "the oppressor vs the oppressed" on the powerless side. No one is going to give in. Unless there is a wonderful ethical consensus, of mutual nature, of course.
I've been binge-watching Dr. Peterson lately, it took its toll on me.
Yes
but I also think that Victim attitude and the whole psychological and political system built around it are a very very big part of it all!
and if there are "victims", there also needs to be some guilty people.. ^^
Ironically, the "guilty" people are the victims themselves quite often. Imagine how humiliating that is, and how hard they want to compensate for that - eventually.
Honestly, I don't know any more! The powers abusers are certainly dirty bastards but how about the spineless, psychologically paralysed victims who fear the risk of blowing back?
The dude should have referred to the socialist revolution, what a mistake.
just think what they could accomplish if they didn't have that "victim mentality"
Hell, this is what Hyperianism (and Jordan Peterson whom I'm binge-watching currently, by the way, and Allan Watts, and God known who else...) is all about. I am you and you are me. Support me and you support yourself. It is only applicable, of course, if there is a shared underlying ethics between the two; a gay supporting(buying goods from) an ultra-right christian entrepreneur is ridiculous, like shooting oneself in a leg.
But yeah! The rich may get as rich as they want -- the poor have brought them all the money (mostly) after all -- as long as the wealth returns to the community. Sure, they want to enjoy the luxury they earned, too. And that is a very, very thin line to walk as I observe.
As for the poor. Probably just stop whining and build something valuable and meaningful.
RICH = GOOD + SMART
POOR = BAD + DUMB
RICHER = GOODER + SMARTER
I HOPE THOSE BILLIONAIRE ROCKETS EXPLODE
HERE'S YOUR "VICTIM MENTALITY",
RICH = GOOD + SMART
POOR = BAD + DUMB
RICHER = GOODER + SMARTER
I HOPE THOSE BILLIONAIRE ROCKETS EXPLODE
