Hitler-stabbing makes you sad?

[Graknorke]

I've ben thinking about a phrase I've been hearing recently. That anti-racist is just a codeword for anti-white. It's starting to make sense. They say that they're anti-racist but what they really are is anti-white. Think about it.

I don't even understand. That is pretty much the pinnacle of circularity.
Later on there's sort of better reasoning, but it's setting up a whole bunch of straw men and then a bunch of suppositions that aren't necessarily true, then making a case on that.

Oh yeah, Godwin's Law.
They talk about Hitler and how they [white people] are apparently compared to Nazis a lot and I'm pretty sure that's illegal in Germany (?), so that would explain it.

A crazy PETA lady argued that our canines came about in the last two centuries because of eating meat. When I argued something along the lines of "no they fucking didn't", she tried to convince me that they were designed to crack peanut shells.

EDIT: Just remembered, a few weeks ago my Spanish teacher tried to argue that any assumptions at all were wrong and mean. Not even racist assumptions, just stuff like "a Mexican man living in Mexico probably knows how to speak Spanish".

I guess I'm mean for assuming that everybody on this board knows how to read and write English.

[FearfulJesuit]

Why are PETA so crazy? Surely they realize that by being reasonable they could accomplish more than they do?

Also, itsnotlogical, you never know! Maybe he speaks Zapotec or Tzotzil or Mixe or Zoque!

But if she's saying things like that, she probably doesn't know about those.

There's a department of PETA who find the whole thing highly amusing and have convinced the rest that the most effective way is also the most hilarious way.

[Oliolli]

PETA craziness is an inside job?

[Graknorke]

It has to be.
That level of crazy doesn't just come around organically. It has to be premeditated.

[Evilsx]

Think about it, i make more sense then you think

If it doesn't come around organically, does that mean that PETA's crazy is from an inorganic source, like a supercomputer that likes to see people act crazy?

That doesn't take much effort, my thoughts rarely make sense.

Regardless, PETA makes a great example of showing how being too condescending actually undermines your cause. I actually agree with PETA on quite a few things (though not everything, like no pets), but I distance myself from them due to their holier-than-thou attitude.

Only if you think negatively of someone if they don't (online translators exist and are sufficient for a board like this). Also assumptions are bad if you're reinforcing stereotypes with your assumptions.

Don't make value judgments, and be wary of cultural things, and then you can reasonably make assumptions about people. Oh, and I guess make sure you're using decent inductive reasoning in the first place...

I am going to be offfended at the implication of poor or insufficient english, as I was just compared to Google Translate.

You know that joke about assumptions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland. The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. Scottish sheep are black." "No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black." The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep, at least one side of which appears to be black from here."

Wolf -> Dog -> Peanuts

Clearly there is a missing link here.

The whole [white people] seems a bit misplaced. It's more to do with their nationality than race, and when your nationality was literally responsible for a whole shibang of crap well, you can't really blame them for trying to forget all traces of Hitler face stabbing.
The wrong approach, but understandable nonetheless.
