You have it backwards. The only people who can politicize anything and everything are "minority groups". Only people who aren't discriminated against can afford to take a position of politicizing everything. That's a position of privilege.
Are you refreshing this week old post to check for new comments so you can spread leftism?
>No, Whiteness was invented by White racists.
That's what I said, leftists.
>The same as, actually, all the other racial groupings that are typically used in the US (and much of the rest of the world), because colonialism.
Objectively false, these are not used in much of the rest of the world, in fact, they are not used much anywhere else.
>Whites and whiteness were a boogeyman for racial minorities for a long time before leftists cared about either.
Nope, if that was true, they wouldn't have flooded into the West in droves (slavery aside). Minorities still flood to the West by the millions every year.
>Your argument rests on 4chan not existing the real world.
Wrong, 4chan is a subset of "the greater real world", and therefore has different sensibilities, culture, etc. Exactly how Blacks can say the n-word and it's not offensive, they have their own sensibilities and customs, and are a subset of "the greater real world." QED. Argument is proven factually correct here. I win.
>Your entire premise is faulty, because it does.
Just proved my entire premise is logically consistent and bullet proof.
> "Fag" is a slur on planet earth (where the 4chan users reside). There's no argument beyond that.
Stop shifting the goal posts. No one is calling anyone "fag" in this instance. Even then, using the logic above it is not a slur.
>There's no argument beyond that.
You're right, because I 100% proved my point and there's no argument that can say otherwise.
I win. Any response from you is you admitting that I'm right and that I won.
>if you were actually a gay person that somehow bonked your head and scrambled your brains
Now you're IMAX-level projecting about being delusional and deranged.
>white supremacists to use a slur
For the fifth time, it's not a slur, and stop moving the goal posts and building straw men.
>that leads directly to violence against your friends and yourself
This is the same tired illogic that's been around for decades that's been demonstrably proven false. "Violent video games, violent music, violent words, etc. directly leads to violence!"
>it would still be a slur since 99.9999% of gay people would say it was.
Doesn't matter because in this community it's not a slur, as proven above. QED.
> You’ve successfully exposed yourself as homophobic.
More delusions from you, not that I'm surprised. I am homosexual and fully support homosexuality. It is logically impossible for me to be homosexual. QED.
You've successfully exposed yourself as delusional here after getting owned. I won.
Wrong. The "community" is a small internet board that you actively have to seek out. It is not the "greater actual world we live in", it's a subset of it, with different sensibilities, culture, etc. No one has to seek out the "greater actual world we live in", that's a main difference.
>A message board isn't isolated from that.
Yes it is, it absolutely is, as proven above.
>It's offensive and a slur in the real world, of which 4chan is a tiny subset.
It's not offensive in 4chan, which is a subset of the "real world". You literally just proved my point again, it's not offensive everywhere "in the greater real world". QED.
Using your illogic, Black people saying the n-word would be offensive everywhere "in the real world", but it's not offensive in the Black community, a subset "of the real world". QED.
>It doesn't matter how they claim it's being used.
Except it does. You're going into a community and projecting your sense of what is and is not offensive. They don't find it offensive or see it as a slur, you do. You're seeking their community out, they're not coming to your home and calling you an "Archfag".
>The user of the slur doesn't get to decide who's offended by it.
Of course, because offense is taken, not given. No one said otherwise.
>It's an offensive term just like the N word.
It's not offensive if you're Black and you use it in the Black community. Exactly the same as a 4channer using "-fag" its usage not being offensive in the 4chan community.
You got this wrong, it's not an insult. Somethingfag such as "oldfag", "newfag", "Archfag", etc. are not insults whatsoever. They're shibboleth terms for "old users", "new users", "Arch users".
Your entire premise is incorrect.
>2) The language of the insult is a comparison to another group of people.
No one is being insulted, so this point is also wrong.
>3) Being a member of that group is supposed to be a bad thing, which is what makes it an insult.
You're projecting here big time. No one there is tying any negativity or positivity to the "fag" suffix, only you are.
>4) Therefore the person believes that group of people is in some way inferior, bad, or otherwise undesirable in some way.
Nonsensical since nothing is being tied to inferiority, "badness", or anything undesirable.
The $10 a month is a service charge to be connected to the grid with a meter, so you can send energy to the grid to get money back, or use the grid when your solar isn't generating enough energy.
I think that's fair. It pays for the meter, the transformer you're connected to, the grid circuit, etc.
