I think you need to look up the definition of straw man and explain how you think @Damocles built one.

You’ve also still not mentioned the group to which you were referring.

A class or group that enjoys an enhanced position within a society and to whom special privileges are available.

Do what Damo did. Pick one that is close to your heart. Have fun :)

Do you don’t have the courage of your conviction to name one or two groups to which you were referring.

Could have just said that from the start and saved several posts.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Oh I don’t know. There’s people for example who create a straw man then clamber aboard their donkey like some modern day Don Quixote and then ride off flushed and triumphant after giving that straw man a damn good thrashing. Still if it keeps them happy no harm done I guess.

Yep, the anti-Semite fumble has been pummelled to a pulp and the up Corbyn's arse fumble has had his last remaining candle snuffed out.

There are some brave keyboard warriors in here, who'll stop at nothing! To defeat those all powerful figments of their imagination.

I kind of did. The big fuck off clue was my statement that this is a ‘general observation’.

It's a complex situation and i can agree with a lot of what you say.

As Peterson says later in that video you reference, a major thing is the perception of fairness.
Interestingly not that long ago, i think it was one of the Australian councils or government offices that introduced a 'blind' recruitment & selection policy believing it would help redress a perceived diversity imbalance. I don't know the exact mechanics that were used, but it was abandoned soon after its introduction as it was producing the exact opposite results they wanted or expected.

It shows that there isn't any easy solutions, but to get a 'fair' solution all sides need to have some input and be listened to.
One of the reasons the SJW types get a bad rep is that they show no intention of considering or listening to counterpoints, and worse will actively try to shut down any argument against themselves.

Perhaps by suggesting that anyone who calls them SWJ types isn't considering or listening to their point.

What is their point normally other than everyone who disagrees with them is a fascist or racist?

Well done. I think you've just shut down your own argument.

Of course I have Vic.

Not sure what you are getting at?

By referring to someone as an SJW it's a valid reason to censor & de-platform anyone who are in opposition to them?
