As the Left defines them, I am every one of "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic".

- maxerickson 10y agoCould you maybe spell out what you believe the left believes then?
- hga 10y agoAt the base, in the perfectibility of man, as I discussed elsewhere in this subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055322 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055322 Pretty much everything flows from that.
- maxerickson 10y agoNo, I mean the specific belief the left would use to decide on each label.
- hga 10y agoNo, I can't really tell you, it's all in my view at this point just whatever comes handy to declare your enemy as being doubleplusungood and beyond the pale. To take the best personal example I have, in my lifetime, since I became politically and socially aware in the very early '70s, "racist" meant something, something effectively concrete, something real and observable. Now can mean something as anodyne as disagreeing with an opinion or position of Obama's.

This is not an accurate understanding. But it is a useful point for the conversation to reach. If you are not willing to evaluate the accuracy of that belief, you also won't give consideration to other arguments that contradict it.
