I do understand that sometimes in groups not all their members' issues are addressed equally. But everytime a group split, it does get smaller and will be less able to have an impact. Lately, all the groups are pointing fingers to each other without noticing that the it is not 'us' vs 'them'. If you see who is in power, who isn't making the changes for us humans and where the money is flowing, that is where you need to look.

And it so happens to be that a LOT of information about those people is in the EPSTEIN files.

Treat each other like humans and bring back accountability for the everyone.

Intersectionality is not 'splitting', that's a very doomer binary way to view it. The only 'splitting' here is the white woman turning on her ally and doing the same thing the man was doing in the first panel.

One big movement can be made up of many small movements, intersectionality is recognising how all these small groups operate together and influence each other. For example a gay black persons experiences are different from a black hetero persons and a gay white persons, yet they can also relate to aspects of each other. So when you fight for your allies, you learn their unique issues and visa versa.

Intersectionality is viewing discrimination as a Venn diagram, but it's the same fight.

Thank you for your explanation. I'll take it in consideration.

It may be a blend of both. Maybe I am seeing a lot of bad lately. Fighting between men and women. Fighting between basically every group there is.

Time to touch some grass I guess.

Feminism has disenfranchised me tbh. I am fine with their ideals and wishes but not with being called a predator.

You couldn't torture this confession out of me lmfao

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I've been in the trenches, I've made up my mind so far and I've gotten a few too many bad interactions with so called feminists. I'd actually be in the manosphere or a right wing grifter if I wasn't actually given empathy by people like contra points in my growing years.

Good ol out of context! I already had this talk so I'll just skip the formalities. I AM Muslim and if switching one of my labels (man) to one of the others (Muslim) makes the content deletable the original comment should also be deletable.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 53 minutes ago

Well you can't just switch out labels like that, that is the whole point!

a) critizing "all men" means critizing men as a class. The dominant class in relation to the oppressed class. They're not talking about you the individual, they're talking about the class of men.

b) critizing "all muslims" is very much critizing every muslim as an individual. Muslims aren't a societal class, but a huge group of people that have nothing in common other than them claiming to be part of the same religion.

The difference is that a class is in relation to another class, you can't have "men" without "women". You can't have "employers" without "employees". You can't have "slavers" without "slaves". You can very much have "muslims" without "christians". One is talking about societal structure and dynamics, the other about a trait shared by a group of people. One talks about societies perception of the individual (You'll get treated like a man if people around you think you are one) the other about an individuals self-understanding (You're a muslim if you say are one).

That's why one comment is fine and the other is very much deletable.

I must be doing something right as no one has ever called me a predator before.

I prefer Cthulhu's position.

No lives matter, and that's a fact.

Misanthropic division posting hours

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

"I hate everyone equally" is a very misanthropic, nihilistic thing to say. The misanthropic division is a neo-nazi group that has really embraced this idea.

Basically with your comment the vibes are off.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, it has been applied as a way to divide, like when Bernie proposed all sorts of policies to help the poor and mainstream media ran with "but what does Bernie do specifically for poor black people?"

That's not to say there aren't such specific concerns, but it wasn't like Hillary was doing any better in that regard. It was solely used as a way to make Bernie look less progressive. So instead we got Trump with the simple and straightforward "make america great again".

Fighting a war on multiple fronts is a great way to stretch your resources thin and muddy the strategy.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bernie didn't lose by focusing on black people, he lost because the entire DNC apparatus worked against him.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Neither of you are wrong.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

That was my point, the DNC and their mainstream media buddies said that he didn't focus enough on issues facing specifically black people. That was one of many attacks they made against him.
