RE: The Power Of Wrong - And Giving Up All Political Allegiances

in #politics8 years ago

I've been off Steemit, so I'm late to the party, but like someone already said, you're one of my favourite writers here.

I actually wrote something that loosely relates to this, as in the importance of humbling yourself a little, in order to find a mutual ground on a topic: https://steemit.com/life/@schattenjaeger/people-saying-racism-is-wrong-and-people-saying-it-isn-t-can-both-be-right-the-importance-of-defining-of-terms

I've been doing "internet convos" for, like, a decade now, and I've grown increasingly frustrated over the idiocy of it. People can't admit to being wrong, and they also parrot certain phrases, while playing dumb when it comes to the definitions of certain words, like capitalism and racism. They know full well that the other person may define a certain term differently, but they are too boneheaded to try to explain.

It kinda relates to this. It's just the general boneheadedness of people.

Sort:  

It's funny you should say that, I have literally just come off the back of an argument on Facebook with one of my friends, and they displayed the exact thinking you mention above. They called me racist for teaching my daughter the cultural reasons for wearing a niqab and/or hijab.
