Being bullied in school sucks, but "the feelings of ostracism and 'otherness'" engendered by that are definitely not the same as that engendered by being a slave.

There is no comparison. Absolutely none.

I don't think I'm talking about those who are actually being held as slaves. I realize that yes, those cases are and entirely different ball of wax and the trauma of being a thing to be owned as opposed to an actual human with agency who feels ostracized is quite different.

I do suggest, however, that perhaps you might take an actual psychology course or two instead of parroting the SJW'ers on tumblr.

Perhaps you will understand that, to the individual suffering, the emotional trauma suffered by many. Who obviously, from posts like yours, can expect little from today's society other than derision.

Could you please explain how I am parroting the SJWs on tumblr by suggesting that being bullied and being a slave are not the same thing? I'd actually expect an SJW to argue that they are the same.

Also, you're making a pretty big assumption about me with that last sentence. I have not said that it is correct for people to be derided. And I will not and would not say it, because I do not believe it. My single point in the post to which you replied was that slavery != being bullied, which you acknowledge as correct in this very post!

There are different sorts of trauma. They are all bad, but they are not all equivalent. I think it's trivializing to suggest that they are all equivalent. That is my issue.

Really? You're going to use the old "SJW" card on someone who called you out on equating racism to the suffering of UGLY people. Seriously. Shut up.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-12 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
You seem to lack empathy. Shame.

I...lack empathy because I don't think that being bullied is the same as being a slave?

Bullying is not a good thing. No one deserves to be bullied, for any reason. It's incredibly traumatic while it's happening, and that trauma can linger and negatively impact a person's life long after it has ended.

That does not make it analogous to slavery.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-12 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Never talked about it being analogous to slavery. But about it being analogous to racism. Which can and has been aimed at groups that have not been slaves.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-12 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
nayrt

literally /no one/ said that being bullied was the same as being a slave. holy shit.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Anon A: "I don't remember a learning about the enslavement of ugly people in history class, so yeah, it is a far reach."

Anon B: "I don't think so. The feelings of ostracism and "otherness" engendered are the same."

so... yes, it's true that they didn't say it was the same thing, but they did say it makes people feel the same way. or, at least, it's not, like, absurd that someone would interpret what was said that way.

really doesn't help that there's all the insane TRULY SAD THAT YOU HAVE SUCH LACK OF EMPATHY, SMH trolling stuff going on too.
