"That's racist/sexist/x-ist/n-phobic," etc. is very often just the adult-to-adult equivalent of "because I said so." It only works if the speaker actually has leverage over you or if you lack the confidence to tell them where they can stick it.https://twitter.com/PamelaParesky/status/1210481355815079936 …
We currently live in an especially pathetic dystopia wherein anyone who whines loudly enough has leverage over people who are actually trying to do and say important things, but I trust that to work itself out over time; competence can never be suppressed in the long run
Don’t even understand this brilliance
I usually hear "This is racist/sexist/etc." followed by some nuance and why the framing of the original statement perpetuates some [unfair] bias. I don't see that in this exchange for sure. Though, if I were Wolpe, I would ask myself why someone said "That's racist".
Oh this is fascinating - seems like the better-off Christians moved out because they could. Also important to note - Bethlehem's population is 25k individuals. Anyone would want to move out of such a tiny town, even if it wasn't economically strangled by settlements around.pic.twitter.com/8EqP0jvGVW
This is a deep insight
Is it, though? Is it really? I think a lot of intra-group fighting would be avoided if people started putting the barest effort to understand where someone criticising them is coming from, instead of trying to psycho-analyze them.
Congruence of fallacy of appeal to emotion w/ fallacy of ad baculum / appeal to authority. For many ppl the emotional dislike of prejudice now serves as the ultimate authority in our culture.
Threats of prejudice label = authority/force
