I fully understand that most adherents to the social justice movement actually don't believe the arguments they make, and simply use them selectively to serve a few special groups or criticize those they consider enemies. I'm appealing to the arguments directly, not the flawed humans behind them. Are you suggesting the arguments are wrong?

> I fully understand that most adherents to the social justice movement actually don't believe the arguments they make, At best this is a strawman, at worst you are just completely incorrect. If you truly believe this, you need to broaden your horizon, and maybe interact in good-faith with the people you are trying to ridicule because you refuse to understand their position. I am not telling you that I think their argument will end up being the correct one, or that you'll end up being wrong. I am telling you that you are debating in bad faith, and without trying to actually have a topic to have a debate about. > Are you suggesting the arguments are wrong? I am suggesting you are purposefully misunderstanding and mis-using them, because it suits your world-view. I am also suggesting that you are using dishonest debate tactics to try and "win" at a debate where there is nothing to win. I do not understand why you had to bring your flawed understanding of what is meant by "privilege" in to this discussion and kind of try and use it against me, when all I did was point out to you, that insulting people isn't very nice. You, not me, not anyone else, chose to write down on the screen in front of you, an insult and then, when being called out on it ever so gently, chose to start a dishonest, bad-faith debate about "tone policing". Why you did this, is something that only you can answer. Good day.
