White Men Needed To Play Devil's Advocate

Quote:
Do you have what it takes to insert yourself callously into conversations that have literally nothing to do with you? Think you have the guts to step in and silence marginalized voices that have fallen on deaf ears since the dawn of time?

We NEED you!!!!

RIGHT NOW, across the globe, thousands of people are having meaningful conversations about race, gender and sexuality with NO ONE willing to take one for the team and speak over them.

We are looking for qualified and enthusiastic candidates who are interested in our highly specialized Opp-roachâ„¢ program which will train you to become the loud voice in the room that is never required. Our goal is to train a legion of warriors who are interested in dismantling "PC culture" and believe that the best approach to social issues is to deny their existence.

I've built up a bit more empathy toward Gbaji being slotted into this role as I unwittingly walked into the Bailey of this motte. I thought we were having a political process debate: Evidently, we were not.

Motte & Bailey fallacy.

I responded to someone who was thought the presence of "Bernie Bros" disqualified Sanders as a candidate, but felt conflicted because they liked his platform better. I told them voting out of their self interest was an awful strategy, and that voting based on policy & candidate was better than voting based on supporter actions, regardless of which candidate they settled on in the end.

This was, of course sexist and/or racist. I tried to salvage by arguing that this holds true regardless of the demographics of the spite voter, it was bad. I'd already lost the argument at that point however, as it was an entirety different argument that we were were having.

It is very hard to have a meaningful conversation with someone when the two of you are not just arguing different positions, but actually using completely different methodological approaches to the issue itself. In politics, I've found that this divide usually occurs between principle vs people. Some people make political decisions based on the underlying principle of the decision itself. Others make them based on some association with the people involved or affected by the decision. Neither is going to be very successful swaying the other.

Gotcha. In my myoptic world, I assumed you meant a conversation here in =4 and was trying to figure out when you got into a process debate (much less about Sanders) with someone recently.

So there's other places on the internet, huh? Who knew?

When victimhood is ultimate cultural currency, cis-hetero white men are the most marginalized minority. Smiley: schooled

If you're sufficiently victimized, you might just get a specially decorated Eiffel Tower. Just for you. Don't you feel special now?

I'm far from an expert on gbaji, and I'm sure he's matured like a fine wine since I last posted regularly, but I think it's very true that the internal logic of his arguments is sound but he pays attention to completely different aspects of events to everyone else and has radically different assumptions about psychology, politics and economics. Debating an event with him is like two people, one deaf and one blind, trying to agree what happened at a fireworks display.
