Suburbs without cars are food deserts. No shops, no public transit. Only single family homes, schools and pedophile shuffling services (churches). If I had to walk to buy any food (even fast food) it would be a 45 minute trip minimum.
I thought this rule was about Minecraft until I read the comments…
Hardly. To either. You are the one who injected themselves into the conversation here.
I’m sorry that I was engaging with a conversation that didn’t include you and you had to come tell me how I was wrong.
I state that there are leftist who try to claim all crime is of type X. It is blatantly obvious to everyone, except apparently leftist, that crime is not all of type X. You come in and say “yeah, but bro most is type X.”
You can’t leave it alone. This isn’t a position you need to defend. Holy shit. That’s not even the worst of it… The biggest problem is that most things of type X that are the worst for society aren’t even crimes in most countries and yet you Lazer focus on the wording like it’s a magic enchantment.
Totally missing the forest for the trees.
The irony, is that on a post I made about lemmy leftist making bad arguments about crime, you replied with a leftist position and a bad argument about crime. I can’t make this up.
Many conversations I’ve had with leftist here on lemmy have resulted in them claiming that all crime is either a crime of greed or poverty. No hyperbole. It’s infuriating trying to talk with some of them on these topics because they simply will not accept that there are other forms of crime or violence… No crimes of passion, etc.

To be fair, the image in the middle is how we should think about Hippos. Murder Bois for sure.
Wow. Just… Wow.

What?

The tl;dr is that independent movements leave or create additional issues. The example I have used elsewhere in my replies on this post is jk Rowling. She is a feminist. She is also a terf. Feminism, by itself, doesn’t solve the problems of other excluded minority groups. If feminism was the only movement we considered, Rowlings position might not have ever been exposed and the bigotry that trans women face wouldn’t be addressed by the feminist movement because terfs would silently exclude them.
In the 30s and 40s a major problem with feminism was the racism that infected it. It was for women’s rights, as long as it was white women. This problem still exists today. Is feminism, feminism if black women are left behind? Are black women not women? Are trans women not women?
I personally don’t see this as the strength of the intersectionality argument. To be clear, I am not saying that your point is incorrect. I agree with you completely.
My point is that to people not familiar with the concepts of intersectionality might find this to be a bit of a flimsy position. I could be wrong and I am willing to discuss why in more detail if you like.
I personally think the incompleteness argument is more persuasive. Proponents of individual movements are already aquatinted with the inequalities of their own individual movements and getting them to recognize what their movement lacks is easier than getting people to recognize that integrating other movements will produce better results.
It also, explicitly, forces people to “say the quiet part out loud”. They don’t get to hide behind platitudes. I.e. the j.k Rowlings of the feminist movements get to out themselves as terfs or racists that much easier. When you get someone to admit that there are more inequalities faced by black woman than either movement alone covers and their reaction isn’t immediate recognition of the problem… You have found your problem.
What is white savior-y about a black woman talking about black women problems?
You have put very little to no effort into your why question, and it was very effective at making the op mad, so if your goal was trolling I suppose it was effective.
If you are serious, then you don’t have a good grasp of intersectionality and it isn’t ops responsibility to teach you… Particularly when you are aggressive about your lack of knowledge being a good place to argue from.
I feel like people need an education about the difference between spirit of the law and letter of the law.
This comment reads like this:
“I posted some truly heinous shit and a mod/admin removed it but I didn’t break any written rules therefore my right to force other people to be subjected to my desires was impinged upon😭😭😭😭.”
