You continue to attack me personally. You've been on HN long enough to know that it's not acceptable here and you'll note that I haven't done the same. I only am discussing the content of this thread.
The white male supremacist narrative of their victimization, like the one in the parent, is what I was describing further up the thread.
- marcoperaza 9y agoI don't even know what to say. When you imply that I'm supporting a white supremacist narrative, I'm obviously going to defend myself and call out a fallacious yet unfortunately widespread line of reasoning.
- forapurpose 9y agoYou can talk about the reasoning without attacking me; it's not hard. I never said anything about you (other than you are attacking me); I have no idea what your intent or thinking is, what kind of person you are or what you support. Maybe you are the grand wizard[0] of the KKK of SV; maybe you are a civil rights organizer but are playing devil's advocate; maybe you are an unwitting 'useful idiot'[1] for the white male supremacists; maybe you are a PhD in philosophy and just like to debate; maybe you are 13 years old and are just trying on some ideas for size; maybe you are a troll; maybe you are in the office down the hall; and probably you are something I haven't thought of and with more complex motivations than these simple characterizations. All I can comment on are the words on the page and that's all anyone should be commenting on. The words fit the narrative I described. [0] Cool title; don't you think?
