The term "White privilege "PeterWilton wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 1:23 amThere's a little more to it that that with Fox. He's also denied that Megan Markle was a victim of racism.
As for hoim being a white privileged male. That's got nothing to do with his wealth and everything to do with him winning the lottery by being born white and male, and if he was cancelled for denying the existence of white privilege or male privilege then I'd be more than comfortable with that.
But we live in a capitalist society, and if he made himself less marketable in an industry where being marketable is so important then he's the only one to blame, not anyone else.
Did he ever apologise for calling the audience member a racist? I googled it briefly but only found equity's apology.
The application, to the individual, the characteristics of the group from which they belong.
The very definition of racism.

Re: Cancel Culture ?
It’s literally Nazi propaganda - “Kulturbolschewismus” (“cultural Bolshevism”) was a Nazi conspiracy theory that the Jews were behind a Marxist plot to destroy the West from within. They claimed the Jews were secretly behind the Russian Revolution, and the Bolsheviks were just their puppets.RingoMcCartney wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 12:58 am... it's quite clear that cultural Marxism, that aims to silence opinion, people and thought which it disagrees with, is not anti semitic.

Anders Brevik cited cultural Marxism, alongside feminism and Islam, as a cause of the decline of western civilisation, so it’s not just the historical Nazis who are on your side on this one.
Incidentally, if someone calls you a Nazi for parroting literal Nazi propaganda, that’s not them trying to silence you. They’re just calling you out for what you are. In fact, the implication that “shouting Nazi” is somehow beyond the pale seems a bit indicative of cancel culture to me.

No, Ringo McCartney. When someone refers to "white privilege" no one is being judge by their skin colour. In actual fact Jo one is being judged at all.
White Privilege refers to how in predominantly white Western societies people who are white often don't have to overcome the societal hurdles that people with other skin colours have to overcome to reach an equal level of success.
I'm going to just assume you have misunderstood the term in good faith and I am happy to give you a more correct, albeit likely not perfect, description.

I believe that tweet from Kerry Mendoza is in response to Jones's criticism of this tweet...
Now I'm not a big fan of brexit, but if I was I think I would be glad to see someone criticising the invokation of "arbeit macht frei" in reference to it.

The cancel storm was based on Laurence Fox's opposition to people being characterised by their skin colour, whether it is black, white or whatever.
I accept that those insistent on preaching white privilege are, in the main, motivated by good intentions. But surely you can understand the counter argument that some people think that attaching importance to a person's skin colour is not a good thing? You are happy for people to suffer for thinking that? A lot of progress has been made against racism by people thinking exactly that - skin colour is not important.

There's a clue in the first word, of the two word, racist term that you're repeatedly choosing to use !
My mum, 93 in September God bless her, can recall seeing from the window of the office of her first job. Men queueing outside the dole office in Burnley town centre. They were queueing for the couple of shillings theyd receive till they found work.
Those men, exclusively WHITE MEN had nothing on their feet. Yes, that's right Peter Wilton , WHITE MEN, in Burnley , Lancashire, England, Europe, where the majority live in their homeland ( increasingly an inconvenience for some) had sweet **** all on their feet.
Where was there "white privilege " Peter Wilton? Nothing on their feet.
She'll also tell you that around the same area all the children, WHITE CHILDREN had shaved heads. Why did those children have shaved heads Peter Wilton? Because their hair was riddled with lice, such was the abject poverty and dirt poor living conditions their were enduring.
That's within living memory. So dont bloody lecture me about "whites often don't have to overcome the societal hurdles that people with other skin colours have to overcome to reach an equal level of success."
You havent a clue what poisonous, race baiting, jealousy justifying racist hate speach you're promoting.
These men, those WHITE men, and millions like them worked hard, damn hard, often in horrendous conditions in Steel works, on railways, in coal mines. Over time they and their families would manage to squirrel away what little extra they had, after theyd fed and clothed themselves. This would then be passed onto the next generation in the hope that their children and grandchildren would have a better life. Anything that millions and millions of white people have today is not thanks to their skin colour. They're simply benefitting from the work of previous generations.
You , as someone on the Left should be aware of Clause 4. This is the first line-
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry"
Millions of white people are simply now enjoying what the founding fathers of the Labour movement wanted them to achieve. The fruits of their labour.
The "misunderstanding" is on your part Peter Wilton. Your need to describe the generationally derived achievements and just rewards of the people whose forefathers had nowt on their feet as "privilege" because of their skin colour is what it is.
It's the the application, to the individual, the characteristics of the group from which they belong.
Racism.

And why do you think people are telling kids they're the wrong gender? That's a propaganda line touted by transphobic people used to trick otherwise good people, such as yourself, into repeating it and believing it without actually looking to see if it's even true. Where did you read or hear it?

They should do everything they can to try and fix their minds and align their body and mind before butchering and mutilating the bodies they were born with. Pumping adolescents with hormone supressors and ideas before attempting to fix the mind is barbaric and the aftermath can lead to suicide.

Why, when it has been explained to you so many times what an atrociously anti-Semitic term “cultural Marxism” is, do you continue to use it? What are you trying to describe by it?
Why would you promote the idea that people against fascism are the bad guys? Are you for or against fascism?
Why should I ever have to denounce paedophilia, when I’ve never promoted it? I have no idea who Pat Corcoran is, but if you’ve attacked him because he opposes fascism then does that make you a fascist?
You use NAZI terminology, and quote websites that attack anti fascists. I’m not calling you names, but suggesting your own words make you look like a fascist.

Its such a serious issue that its upsetting to see people openly mocking transgender people by making the conscious decision to refer to trans women as "men" or "trans fellas" and going so far out of their way to deny the problem by instead of callignit what it is, "gender dysphoria" they call it "body dysphoria, presumably because they don't want to admit the" gender aspect of it.
But even worse than those people are those who actively lie and spread disinformation about how treatments occur. Notts claret has repeated some of the most vile and damaging lies about how people with gender dysphoria are treated by characterising it as if these people who are going thru this are only going through it because other people are telling them they are transgender. And bfcboyo has also repeated the lie that kids are being pumped with ideas that they are transgender when actually what is happening is these kids who, for years have had to struggle with gender dysphoria, seek help and after evaluation by medical professionals are sometimes they are offered puberty blockers, because a transgender person going through puberty can be extremely traumatising, so medication that delays puberty (it only delays it, not prevent it) to allow them more time to understand and come to terms with their level of dysphoria is vital in keeping the attempted suicide tate down to *only* 48%.
Incidentally,and closer to the topic, Graham Linehan, who I've seen people complain about being cancelled, was only cancelled *after* he organised a mass complaint against Mermaids, a charity that helps children with gender dysphoria not kill themselves, because Mermaids were due to receive a National Lottery grant and Linehan and his fellow transphobes tried to have that grant cancelled based on transphobic lies and propaganda, the same kind of lies and propaganda that has been repeated in this very thread.
So if it is cancel culture to collectively boycott Graham Linehan, and anyone who funds him, for his transphobic actions then clearly its also cancel culture for Graham Linehan to organise collective action against a charity he doesn't like because of how much of a hateful bigot he is. And this only supports my argument that cancel culture doesn't exist. It is a term dreamed up by the far right to attack the left for something the left does far more effectively, and way more peacefully, that the far right. The term is far-right propaganda. Like "cultural Marxist" and "social justice warrior" and "virtual signalling". It's intended to shame the left into not collectively acting all while they attempt to collectively act in the exact same way they claim is "cancel culture". Just look at Trump's tweets to see how many times he's called for boycotts, and not he's whining about "cancel culture". It's pretty funny.

Before things were discovered did they not exist? How many people died of cancer or heart disease before they were discovered?

Re: Cancel Culture ?
You've misunderstood the question. When I ask how many people killed themselves before this condition was discovered, what I was really asking was how many people killed themselves for this condition before it was discovered. Sorry if you misunderstood. I tried to make it simple.
Perhaps if I rephrase the question.
1. How many people are killing themselves now because they are not happy with their gender?
2. Before gender dysphoria was known about, how many people were killing themselves because they were not happy with their gender?

How did we get back onto gender dysphoria again?

"not happy with their gender"
Again, and it's pretty disappointing that I have to point this out, but it's not the "gender" part of "gender dysphoria" that is causing the problem. It's the "dysphoria" bit.
Do you even want to understand this or would I be wasting my time trying to help you understand?

I really have no idea what this post means or how it relates to the post you replied to. Did you quote the wrong commenter by mistake?
