The efficacy of democracy / representative government *depends* on disparate groups w divergent self-interests not being the norm This is a historical rule without exception The Founding Fathers didn't entertain democracy for the sake of practicing democracy

They entertained democracy because it *can* produce better outcomes *dependent on circumstance* And they were explicit on the demographic question. If that is not acknowledged, then a collapse of political efficacy and devolution to authoritarianism is *guaranteed*

"Must we abandon democracy? I thought you considered it important"

Leftists do not expect this frame and have nothing to respond with "Racist" doesn't even make sense in this context and they will look hysterical/absurd (even by other leftists) if they attack you

This is all great but might need a lot of explaining
-
I mean it might not make any sense to them at all

No no no, they need to ante up before having a useful opinion. Demand to know what's the most diverse neighborhood they've ever lived in. It's easy to "treat people as individuals" when you live in a neighborhood that's greater than 90% white.

One person in question here lives in DC
-
But where in DC? NW and SE might as well be different universes.
-
NW, but he talks about living in a black city and getting along great
-
He is a Diversity Tourist. NW is nearly 100% white and very expensive.

Absolutely, you should treat every individual as such. If you truly value individualism, you also can’t be blind to collectives who give preference to their group over the individual:https://www.counter-currents.com/2015/10/the-refutation-of-libertarianism/ …

This is a good start. I think I tried that one

The whole reason all the negative groups exist is because they're full of negative individuals. And you, as an individual, have good pattern recognition.

Interestingly, many of those arguing against treating people as individuals but rather as part of groups are racially ambiguous themselves and are accepted as white precisely because they're treated like individuals.
-
SJWs certainly like to blame whites collectively
-
That's true, but I was referring in this instance to the racially ambiguous (mestizo, even castizo, Levantine, half this and that) ppl on the alt right who are accepted as part of the movement precisely bc they're treated as individuals and not representative of their group.
