i try not to think about politics, but its impossible to ignore the sheer volume of contradictions coming from one direction. the left has mastered the art of holding mutually exclusive beliefs with absolute confidence. its hard to tell if its true ontological incoherence, or just straight up lying.
here are some examples
we are all immigrants
everyone is an immigrant. we all belong to one world. western nations must take in unlimited immigrants.
but colonialism is bad, obviously.
oh also if an indian person moves to britain, theyre british. if a british person moves to india, theyre a colonizer.
believe the science
trust the experts. they know better. follow the science.
except when they talk about race, iq, stereotype accuracy, or evolved traits. then theyre nazis.
or: its okay to believe men can become women, but science backed up by millions of data points is a conspiracy
everyone is racist (but secretly on my side)
the entire country is racist, bigoted, backwards. but deep down everyone supports leftist policies. theyre just too stupid to realize it.
tax cuts
tax cuts only benefit the rich.
also the rich dont pay any taxes.
the nordics
white people have no culture. but also white culture is evil and must be erased.
but also we should all be more like the white ethnostates of sweden and denmark.
we hate white people
we hate white people. white countries are irredeemably evil.
which is why we only want to live in white countries.
linguistic traps
"people of color" is progressive. "colored people" is racist.
entitlement
you have no right to inherit anything from your parents. you dont deserve what you didnt earn.
but people on welfare deserve everything they can get.
diversity = strength
the british ruined africa and the middle east by drawing arbitrary borders. they forced different ethnic groups together and created endless conflict.
obviously this could never happen in western countries. diversity is our strength.
also multiculturalism only matters in white countries.
stolen land
populations and demographics change all the time. get over it.
also you live on stolen native land and your ancestors were evil.
also borders dont exist except when they support my political beliefs.
there is no such thing as the british race. but the british race owes reparations.
palestinians deserve their own state. jewish people do not. indigenous white people do not.
china can be majority chinese. japan can be majority japanese. india can be majority indian. but ireland being majority irish? thats racist.
minorities should be able to live among themselves. white people wanting that is segregation.
american tourists changing mexico citys food scene is bad. mexican immigrants changing american cities is good.
affirmative action
dei policies dont advantage anyone. they just level the playing field.
thats why white people list themselves as other races to get those advantages that dont exist.
dei creates opportunities and elevates people. but pointing out someone was a dei hire is offensive.
demanding a black woman is hired promotes equity. noticing that it happened is racist.
maths requirements for scientists are discriminatory. physical requirements for firefighters are discriminatory. but also women arent worse than men at anything.
the wage gap
women are paid 80% of what men are paid. but also women control 80%+ of consumer spending.
(of course, if the wage gap were real, evil capitalist companies would only hire women. but they dont. because patriarchy.)
we are all the same
we are all the same no matter where were born or what culture we come from. everyone should be treated equally.
but also we cant apply western standards to asylum seekers/migrants. that would be racist.
right to exist
jewish people born in israel have no right to live there. palestinians were there first.
mexicans who entered the US last week are just as american as anyone. suggesting otherwise is fascism.
white south africans dont belong in south africa after 400 years. white americans dont belong in america after 500 years. but migrants who arrived last tuesday are just as native as anyone.
representation
trans women are women.
but of course trans women deserve special representation because theyre trans women, they cant just be in the "woman" category
white migration
if white people move into an area its gentrification. if they move out its white flight.
white flight of course being the idea that one day, for no reason at all, white people decided moved from the city centers to the suburbs
and in doing so, the areas became worse
nation of immigrants
white countries were built by immigrants, not native populations. also those countries were white supremacist.
immigrants are the backbone of the economy because theyre smarter and harder working than stupid uneducated white people.
thats why immigrants want to study at top white universities.
"my home country is better than this racist hellhole."
"why dont you go back then?"
"thats white supremacy."
modern western countries are systemically racist. but 100 years ago they somehow werent. thats why they let in the immigrants who built the country.
western societies are evil patriarchy. it doesnt matter that they are also the only societies that granted women rights and freedom.
riots
burning cities and looting is the voice of the unheard.
white people peacefully marching is terrorism.
injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere (but only if its white people)
welfare
poor people are uniquely unhealthy and overweight.
also they cant afford food.
valid beliefs
all cultures are equal. all beliefs are valid.
except conservative beliefs. those are backwards and evil and represent an existential threat.
but also we shouldnt worry about the beliefs of immigrants though. everyone is the same.
iq
iq differences dont exist.
unless theyre being used to acquit someone of a crime.
god would hate you
atheists: "god would hate you for that."
people who hate christianity: "jesus was an immigrant, so you must support infinite immigration."
people who think the US is white supremacist: "the founding fathers wouldnt have stood for this."
basically "i dont believe this, but you do, so maybe if i say this youll do what i want"
capitalism
capitalism doesnt work because people are inherently selfish and greedy.
thats why socialism will work. people will cooperate for the common good.
birth rates and the environment
for the last couple of decades: there are too many people. dont have babies. save the planet.
now: theres not enough young people. we must import millions from high birth rate countries.
in otherwords, there are too many people, but only too many white people.
convenient nihilism
we are all just monkeys on a speck of dust floating through space. nothing matters. why do you even care about immigration?
but how dare you say abortion is bad or women arent men or cultures arent all equal.
believe all women
believe all women.
except the girls being groomed by certain ethnic groups. theyre racist.
believe all women. except the ones assaulted by migrants.
believe all women. no not those women.
everything is genocide except genocide
"abolish whiteness" and "eradicate christianity" are mainstream positions.
trans genocide is real. gaza is genocide.
"men cant be women" is genocidal rhetoric.
but muslims calling for the eradication of jews isnt genocidal rhetoric. thats free speech.
whites and blacks calling for the abolition of white people isnt genocideal rhetoric. thats progressive.
labor and immigration
we care deeply about workers rights. thats why we must import slave labor to pick our crops.
religion
christian beliefs are evil. muslim beliefs are culture.
stoning homosexuals is fine if its their culture.
female genital mutilation is fine. lack of womens rights is fine. hatred of jews and black people is fine. authoritarianism is fine.
but only from muslims and palestinians.
"they hate trans people, so they deserve to die" only applies to christians.
fake oppression
a lot of liberal women in the west love to cosplay that we live in the handmaid's tale
ignoring the fact that there are real countries that are more oppressive than that
in fact, they want the west to become more like those countries and see nothing wrong with this
lockdowns
its fine to put the world on house arrest if it saves even one life
but we cant lock up violent career criminals
and if a few girls get set on fire or stabbed or raped every week, thats a small price to pay for social justice
