I don't know anyone who trusts global corporations.
Are you telling me you don't know anyone who thinks "the vaccine" (which isn't technically a vaccine) is 100% safe?

When a meritocracy is deemed racist, you are left with systemic mediocrity.
What if a plutocratic kleptocratic corporatist oligarchy is deemed "racist"?

@Theweakeredge
then that lax-ness they would have gotten otherwise is given to other forms of people.
THE "LAX-NESS" WAS given TO VERY SPECIFIC PEOPLE.

The 1860 census shows that in the states that would soon secede from the Union, an average of more than 32 percent of white families owned enslaved people. [LINK]
In other words, 68% of "white" people living in "confederate states" did NOT own slaves.

This also ignores the 100% of "white" people living in "union states" that also did NOT own slaves.

Using census numbers for the percentage of families who held slaves, the nationwide calculation for the percentage of “families owning slaves,” is 7.4%. [LINK]
sO, in total, of all the "whites" TODAY who had ancestors living in the USA in 1860, 92.6% of "white" families did NOT own any slaves.

Not to mention all the "white" immigrants who poured into the USA AFTER 1860.

The poor Greek, German, Irish, Algerian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Egyptian, Scottish, Italian immigrants who arrived AFTER THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR ARE NOT "PRIVILEGED".

92.6% OF THE "WHITE" PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR ARE NOT "PRIVILEGED".

I have an idea.

Trace the ancestry of the 7.4% of "white" families who actually owned slaves in 1860.

Gather all the blood-relatives of these visious slave owners and confiscate their bank accounts.

Then, take that lump sum and divide it by the number of people who can trace their family tree back to a great grandparent who was exploited by one of the members of the first group.

Would that "solve" the "problem" of "white privilege"?

Did you not read a single thing I said? White Privilege does not have to do with who did or did not own slaves, its a societal thing that happens due to implicit and explicit biases. None of what you're saying holds any consideration. White privilege was formed through: The Slavery of Black people - as this part in history had the opinion of black people be that they are less than human, property, beneath them, this is a big foundation for the treatment of black people, and of white people; The Jim Crow laws, which made sure to specifically deny rights from people because they were black, but on a deeper level, it reinforced the biases that began in the era of slavery, that black people were somehow less than white people; "Modern" Media, and not just in television but how black people were portrayed in every aspect of it, especially later 90s and early 2000s, established an even further bias against black people, even being the source of why many people think that black people are armed more than white people (untrue).

See, the biases that have built up are centuries old, and you wanna know what helps end white privilege, acknowledging that it's there; because denying its existence is what lets it spread further and further, all that little tirade did, was show that you really didn't understand the causes of white privilege.

It might be understandably difficult for an Algerian immigrant to the United States (technically African-American) to comprehend how much "white privilege" has personally "advantaged" them.

Nope. I know people who think it's maybe 98% safe, tops. Honestly, what is 100% safe in medicine? Or in, like, physical reality?

And trust of the vaccine =/= trust of global corporations. It's more like confidence in the U.S. vaccine safety system - that is, confidence in the FDA, CDC, ACIP, doctors, regulations, and other numerous safety checkers along the way who have all signed off on the vaccine.

Now you're just asking to get fact-checked.
How do you fact check me not knowing anyone who trusts global corporations? Find out where I live and interrogate everyone I know?

Do you think "the regulators" and "safety checkers" where the ones who came up with the idea of giving pre-emptive legal immunity to the global corporations just in case their "vaccines" end up "highly-corelated" to any serious "side-effects"?

Ok, thanks, this is interesting.

"Liberal Capitalism"??

"Epistemology has always been far-left"??

None of this makes even the slightest bit of sense.

Libertarian Anarchists are INDIVIDUALISTS.

Libertarian Anarchists (both far-left and far-right) are NOT "collectivists".

This guy is constantly conflating philosophers with philosophy.

Suggesting that "post-modern-skeptics" are "always" the first to fire off ad hominem attacks is absurd.

The "post-modern-vanguard"??

He's acting like all skeptics are mindless worshipers of dead philosophers.

In all seriousness, have you ever met a person who called themselves a "post-modernist"??

What is the "positive" "counter-factual" here?

I did my master's in social work at Boston University, and all they taught me was postmodernism. They never said they were indoctrinating me in that, but they only analyzed social issues from that perspective and any other perspective was not allowed or put as morally wrong. Graduated as a social justice warrior in 2016, elevated by my professors for my skills as an SJW, treated social issues and even my patients under those lenses, and then after one year, I moved back to my home country, Peru. In Peru social issues are often addressed from the leftist perspective, we have single payers health care and education, we have a minimum wage, and an acceptance for big powerful government as the savior for all social problems. I got to see how it did NOT work and created tyranny in which the most affected ones were the poor and vulnerable, the same people SJW claimed to advocate for. I couldn’t understand it, how come they implemented the social policies my professors said would create equity and instead created more social problems? I started questioning everything I was taught and I started seeing and living the injustices of the so-called “social justice”. One year later of exposure to the “social justice” approach and I left the left and became a libertarian. Now I believe in the power of the individual to advance in life, I believe big governments are destined to be inefficient, and I believe dividing society in groups harms the country and the human spirit. I really hope the U.S and Canada can get their universities back from this ideology before is too late, I wouldn’t want them to become developing countries like mine that get to live the daily injustice of the so-called "social justice".

Righties and Righties fight indeed. The Muslim terrorists and the White Klansmen of the USA fight for the same motive that the other side is immoral.

In the right you get separation.

3rutal joins Ebuc on the “no one can understand this topic” tier.
You may wish to not understand  anything I say, however, this is first Ive ever heard  of the crazy lizard-alien culture conspiracies that may be have led to QAnon non-sense. BS and Piled Higher and Deeper.  2231 is my guess for end-date of humanity on Earth.

Yahoo news LINK..."The so-called lizard people conspiracy theory has taken a back seat to some of the newer and more widely publicized baseless beliefs that have come to dominate the conspiracy landscape in recent years. But in 2013, a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling found that 12 million Americans believed that the country was run by lizard people in suits.

....In some ways, lizard people believers were a precursor to QAnon, the insidious pro-Trump conspiracy movement that has snowballed from the dark corners of the internet into mainstream social media feeds and even the halls of Congress over the last three years."...

Nevermind
Another option is ever mind 

XYZ, the culture of three,

Mother Father and me,

Moms X, the Barr x and Dad's  'y', you see?

Gravity, Dark Energy and the  resultant Reality,

Yaw, pitch or roll there's no escape the three,

Throw in four diagonals and now we have small 'd',

Inner space, outer space, its all in the degree,

We ring in the new spirit, all in jest and glee.

The far-left wants to abandon the CORPORATE-MOBSTER-STATE-CAPITALISM.

Literally nobody wants to "topple" small to mid sized businesses that participate in FAIR-PLAY business practices.

WE MUST DEMAND HOLACRACY + RCV

DRUGS, IMMIGRATION, AND SEX ARE 100% PROTECTED PERSONAL FREEDOM AND PERSONAL PRIVACY (and the very definition of "capitalism").

Any purely hierarchical organization will protect those at the top and trample those NOT at the top.

WE MUST DEMAND HOLACRACY +RCV

It doesn't matter if you call that hierarchical organization "government" or "globalist mobster corporation" or "world-wide-religion".

The names don't matter.
