No one has a duty to fight for your political ideology. What you’re proposing is called fundamentalism. It’s what inspires terrorists.
Reminds me of forcing people to cry in funerals of dictators, honestly. Pure bullying, hiding behind a facade of righteousness.
- rsfern 5y agoThat’s not how I understand the idea of anti-racism, at least from what I’ve read by people like Ibram X Kendi; I’m not really sure what you’re responding to about fundamentalism Kendi frames it like this: it’s a contradiction to say “I’m not racist” but then continue to live in a way that perpetuates racial disparity. In his writing he gives a bunch of interesting examples from his life where he realized he was acting in that way and tried to change. Maybe you don’t agree with some of those views, but I kind of read your response in this genre of everyone talking past one another. I don’t really see what it has to do with the actual position of anti-racism
