> seeing the promotion of rational thought as white supremacist I think this is conflating "promotion of rational thought" with chauvinism which can be applied to any viewpoint. You could for instance be a Buddhist chauvinist. I think something is deeply wrong with our educational system. Many people seem entirely incapable of distinguishing between the most basic concepts. Is it due to poor vocabulary? Just not having the right words or not understanding the meaning of words when trying to express concepts? Is it lack of life experience? Confusing things like white supremacy or violence with acts that don't even come close to measuring up to the real thing? Or is it, as many presume, more nefarious and the intent is to simply burn everything to the ground out of the misguided belief that it will be easy (or even possible) to build a new utopia in the ashes?
