[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76853358, member: 302807"] If you can point out the flaws in the system....I'd be right there with you advocating for their repair. However, this is the same claim leveled at the police for at least 10 years now....and they've adopted every suggestion people saw as an answer....from implicit bias training, to bodycams, to actually defunding the police in some heavily liberal cities. If everything you've advocated for has failed....why do you still think you understand the problem? Because the results of these attempts to fix whatever problem you imagine exists has resulted in the devastation of the communities people claimed they wanted to help. At the very least, you should consider not attempting to help any further. People are getting killed from all this help. If you're unaware of them....how do you know they exist? And that's the problem. If you can recognize that you lack some privileges that others believe you have....these privileges aren't very accurate at describing reality. Didn't you just say that you don't really get the "male privilege" others expect you would have benefitted from? Who exactly is Socrates in this analogy? How cynical....who can you trust then? How can you assume he benefits from it? Your own words above make it clear that's not always the case. Ironically, despite my heretical affliction....the Christian right only holds me responsible for myself. The Christian left however....seems to imagine I have some unpaid debt to atone for. I think I have a better explanation.... Simple people prefer simple answers. Give someone a target to lay the blame upon and they never have to consider difficult questions. [/QUOTE]
