I’m confused...was this typo-ridden mess accidentally submitted 2 months late or is it just as irrelevant as it is unintelligible?

Is white trash a racial slur? And if so do you deserve to be slammed to the ground for saying it in response to being slammed to the ground once already?
Sorry, but being called “black” by a student you just slammed into the ground isn’t proof of months of racist harassment and threats against your family. Maybe if he dropped the n-word it might indicate some deeper tension, but “black piece of shit”? Really? Do you find “white trash” to be a racial slur that merits…
“Defending himself from harassment”? What the hell does that mean?
A delicious corpse that you grill and eat right there at the table. Yum.
This hardly seems a philosophical discussion. Broad and focused mostly on universals, but very practical and down-to-earth I’d say. Me not being upset or avoiding profanity or not mentioning specific people doesn’t make this a philosophical academic argument.
Don’t worry, I’ll remember that. It’s a good thing to be reminded of. Please also understand that it’s possible to empathize with someone’s suffering while still disagreeing with their lifestyle and thinking that it has harmful effects on society.
Why imply someone has experienced trauma that made them a sociopath simply because they disagree with you calmly? Not very productive.
You’re assuming I don’t have a dog in the fight, and you really oughtn’t base an argument off a baseless assumption like that.
The most common argument I’ve heard is this: many believe transgenderism is a mental illness (and until very recently it was in fact classified as such.) Mental illness in general requires treatment, not encouragement. A man who believes he is Jesus cannot properly function in society, and thus he needs treatment.…
There is no egocentrism in voicing your opinions in a public forum. None. Voicing one’s opinion is one of the most basic societal actions a human can perform. Frankly it’s worrying that you’re attempting to demonize such a fundamental pillar of human interaction as egocentric.
Many would disagree that they will be unaffected by a large scale push for normalizing something they believe to be harmful to many individuals, and by extension, society. If you disagree that it harms people, argue for that. Legalizing marijuana may be good or bad for society in many subtle ways, but to argue that it…
Disagreeing with transgenderism isn’t denying anyone’s right to exist. It simply isn’t. People argue against transgenderism because they think it is harmful to the person and that it is a mental illness that requires treatment rather than encouragement. They do not argue that transgender people should be annihilated,…
And some people find it productive to debate against beliefs they think are wrong or harmful to people. It’s really that simple. Tolerance and kindness isn’t just having a laissez-faire attitude about everything. Many people believe that transgenderism is good for society, so they fight and argue for it and attack…
You’re actually faulting me for debating this calmly. You just can’t win I guess.
I understand that distinction. Do you understand that we’re talking about misgendering? What I’m trying to point out is that misgendering someone isn’t always an act of hatred or bigotry. Some folks just don’t believe that the he has become a she, so they continue to call them a he. This is not a belief that arises…
Saying “everyone who is against X is secretly in favor of X” is even worse pseudo-psychology and a terrible argument.
Just sounds like another way of saying disagreement. If a Nazi very reasonably and calmly explains why he personally thinks Hitler did nothing wrong, people can log on and violently disagree with him. Is that hatred? No. It’s called disagreement. People do it all the time. It’s a terrible argument to just classify any…
No, it’s actually quite simple. It’s not some vague “insecurity” or hateful bigotry that causes people to misgender someone. It’s because people are born with one biological sex, and misgenderers believe that is what determines your pronoun. Misgenderers don’t believe feeling more feminine or masculine or surgery can…
The entire fanbase of Oculus disagrees with you. There was mass revolt on Oculus forums when Facebook bought them, and again when the enormous price tag was announced despite facebooks funding. Despite what the Kinja echo chamber wants you to believe, nobody who was actually going to buy an oculus cared that two indie…
