I am unsure why you are supporting the irrationality of concepts like "milk is racist," or trying to convince me or anyone else reading that it is racist and that this stance is not utterly irrational, as you have no way of supporting it. Either you enjoy struggling over mintuae or you have given your mind over to people who will program you with headlines ("... and why that's a problem."). Remember, you replied to me. You have conceded that you do not have a reasonable stance, but you will stubbornly hold onto it based on some nebulous tautology that it is that way because someone said it is that way ... which is irrational enough for me to reject it.
Only witches support the idea that there are no witches, and we know what to do with witches, don't we? That's the historical precedent for the thought process you're trying to foist upon me. I recollect only a paraphrasing of a routine on how bad propaganda is laughably bad on its surface. It's purpose is not to convince, but to make you admit to yourself you have no reason to believe it, but also realize that you will repeat the propaganda anyway ... or else.
Having asserted to me that milk is racist, you will not be drinking it in the future, or purchasing it, I suppose.
- th0ma5 6y agoThis does not follow. You are continuing to say I shouldn't believe that the racists think it is racist when the racists are saying that they see it as racist. If that is what they say they believe then that is factually what they believe.
- at_a_remove 6y agoThat's not what I am arguing in the slightest. "Wouldn't it be funny and enlightening if we could point out how some people overreact and see monsters in every shadow?" is the whole (milk) of it. There's nothing more to it than that.
- th0ma5 6y agoYou pointing out that overreaction is further propagation.
- at_a_remove 6y agoPropagation of something that isn't racism.
