Re: Unpopular or controversial opinions

[(Anonymous)]

when someone that's been systemically beneath me has been punching upward, I know it's usually not me they're attacking, but the system.

Re: Unpopular or controversial opinions

[(Anonymous)]

That analogy only works if you don't respect the intelligence of the person that's systematically "beneath" you. It's not okay for adults of any race or creed to punch anyone to make a point.

NAYRT, and I'm going to play Oppression Olympics here and say that my anxiety + depression prevent me from being able to internalize that distinction. I can't help thinking everything said about a group I'm part of is about me as an individual. Hearing things like white people are trash, kill all white people have contributed to my suicidal thoughts. Where's your intersectionality now?

I'm the same with the Kill all men. The last three times I tried to end it was in response to what has been quite dismissively termed "Male guilt".

Thing is I am over-reacting to that guilt because of my deression, but the guilt itself is quite deserved. I would suggest the same is true of your "white guilt". Your reaction to it is unhealthy, not the guilt itself.

Re: suicide tw

I don't think "guilt" is quite the right word here

"Consciousness of past injustice and its continuing benefit and structural existence and cognizance of weight of ethical responsibility going forward" yes but guilt has some other connotations that I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with

I don't think the point is, you know, going out of your way to show how painful your hair shirt is, you know?

Your reaction to it is unhealthy, not the guilt itself.

I disagree. I don't think it's healthy at all to feel guilt for what other people have done.

Awareness? Yes, absolutely. Consciously trying to change? Sign me up. Recognizing your privilege? Good thing to do.

But guilt? No.
