Lmao I like this response. Does it mean that reality is inherently evil?

Hey, check this out, you might find it interesting. From Parenti’s Contrary Notions:

If what passes for objectivity is little more than a culturally defined self-confirming symbolic environment, and if real objectivity—whatever that might be—is unattainable, then it would seem that we are left in the grip of a subjectivism in which one paradigm is about as reliable (or unreliable) as another. And we are faced with the unhappy conclusion that the search for social truth involves little more than choosing from a variety of illusory symbolic configurations. As David Hume argued over two centuries ago, the problem of what constitutes reality in our images can never be resolved since our images can only be compared with other images and never with reality itself.

Good point

Sure, objective morality is the belief that certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of individual opinions or cultural beliefs, that moral truths exist independently and can be universally recognized. The second question I haven’t the slightest idea, but it would be interesting to find out.

I don’t have a position, I was asking a question.

the world doesn’t even have objective morality

Deductions based on subjective information got you here. Or did you objectively observe (through, for example, objective experimentation) that there is no objective morality?

That’s what therapygary was trying to tell you, but not sure why they expected your subjective experience to realize the contradiction it itself is based on, lol.

Making a meme where your position is in the ‘right’, doesn’t make it true or even sensical.

Great points, I like it. Someone else pointed out that perhaps there’s no objective morality, but perhaps another explanation is that there are no individuals, that’s why it seems like that.

Hmm, that’s a weird opinion. What are you assuming “my position” is?

You mean your subjective experience?

XD

Poor guy, he will never be free of that stigma XD

evil people with integrity are usually just racist

lmao spot on. You can have integrity and shitty principles (evil) or integrity and good principles (good), so I don’t really see it as corruption vs. integrity.

Yes, I think greed is definitely there in the mix somewhere.

Wow that’s good!

Hmm, you usually have pretty accurate takes on things so I’m going to take a second to reply to this.

When you respond to “Black Lives Matter” with “All Lives Matter”, you’re saying in effect that Black Lives Don’t Matter and we can continue with the status quo, which is White Supremacy. The article you linked described White on White violence throughout America in the 19th century, which has nothing to do with the structural racism Blacks face in America (and Whites do not) but instead is used as a distraction to discourage change. Talib Kweli explains it pretty well:

ELLIOTT: You said, of course all lives matter. But until black lives matter, all lives won’t matter. Can you expound on that a little bit?

KWELI: Yeah, well, the problem with a lot of social movements for change is that people who are on the opposite side of this change, people who don’t get to experience why we’re even protesting in the first place, they start to feel guilty and they start to feel like their relationship to the situation is more important than the actual situation. So right now, police brutality has not gotten worse in this country, we just have cell phones with cameras on them, now. So now the things that hip-hop has been saying for years, the things that activists have been saying for years, are now videotaped. The fact that the police disproportionately brutalize communities of color, now we can not just show you the stats, or just yell it from the mountaintops or just say it in a song. Now we can show you the videotape. And so it’s clear that the police are doing this disproportionately to us. To young people of color, to black people. And so that’s the issue. When you make it about all lives matter, you’re making it about yourself. When you’re saying what about white people, you make it about yourself. When you say what about black-on-black violence, you’re somehow saying because you personally believe that black people are more prone to violence that somehow that means we don’t have the right to exist. That’s a very slippery slope. It’s very dangerous to think that– You know, first of all, black-on-black violence is a myth. All races kill each other more than other races. Do black people kill each other disproportionately more than other races? Yes. Because disproportionately we have higher unemployment. Disproportionately we’re forced into poverty. We have, we don’t get to be educated. We get denied jobs. We get denied good housing, good healthcare. And that creates crime. So yes, poor people are going to murder each other more than rich people are, definitely. But that comes from white supremacy. That comes from Jim Crow. That comes from the prison-industrial complex. If you don’t add a historical context or historical perspective to your discussion, then you’re being selfish, you’re being a coward, and you’re making it about your personal feelings.

He goes on.

But even if we don’t agree on this point, we do agree on a lot of other things that we both agitate for (like such hot takes as “Genocide is Bad”). Kweli also spoke to your point about how now more people are seeing the footage of what the Black community has been undergoing for hundreds of years, which is fascism (and never was Democracy) so the truth is undeniable for more and more non-Blacks.

You are probably already familiar with this but the history of the Black Panther Party is illustrative of this theme. The BPP “represent[ed] the greatest threat to internal security of the country” according to the director of the FBI. One of the more troubling aspects of the BPP was their Free Breakfast for School Children Program. In the J. Edgar Hoover quote above, “internal security” was being used euphemistically for… you guessed it, White Supremacy.

Have to stand up for the Whites in America. They’re the real victims here o7

Black lives matter. They always have. White lives matter, too. The truth is, lives matter.

Lmao all lives matter ok

Ross Perot would like to have a word with you, lol
