Proposal: ban drama sub posting

Then you deduce that since I've applied for a PhD, I must be a white bourgeois man? That's... something, alright, especially when you're talking about oppressed people. Blacks can't do PhDs, eh?

People of color often don't have the financial resources and privilege necessary to do a Ph.D.

Anyway, even white bourgeois men still have mental health issues and commit suicide, you ridiculous fuckwit.

I am a white bourgeois man and I have suicidal ideation from time to time, so I am not saying otherwise

Let me be clear, again, since you aren't getting it: hypocrisy and inconsistency in the application of the idea of oppression destroys its usefulness, as when it is used as a weapon to settle disputes, it can no longer be used as a shield to protect truly disadvantaged people.

Nah, it isn't hypocrisy to try to create a space where the marginalized have a voice. I believe in double standards, I think deference should be extended to the marginalized when they speak, even if they don't speak in a way you want them to.

So fuck you for in the long run hurting the people you pretend to care so much about

Wow, you seem sooo concerned

Hurt and anger (often more like edge and immaturity, we're talking about people like lilit here) can be expressed in different ways - would you justify a trans person calling people racial slurs because they need to express their hurt and anger?

Nah I wouldn't support that, if they told you to go fuck yourself i'd be down with it though.

Your privilege is oozing out of your words. You are most certainly a bourgeois white dude, and here is why:

  1. You think that "blacks" have as much of a chance of getting into a Ph.D. program as you

  2. You believe in consistency in the application of speech because you are a white dude who isn't being targeted by apathy and hate on a daily basis for much of your life, so you don't have any real anger towards oppressors because for you anarchism is purely an intellectual ideal

  3. You are feigning outrage about mental health issues and racism, which is obvious given the detached way you speak about it in your post.

  4. You can't possibly imagine one space within which you being a white dude doesn't allow you to do anything you want. You can't say whatever you want without repercussions, you feel like your voice is being silenced. The fact that you can't handle that speaks to the enormous amount of privilege and entitlement you have.
