Re: identity politics are destroying the democratic party
I see a potential problem with joining the culture war. Which side does my house join?Speaker to Animals wrote:apeman wrote:I hate identity politics, hate it, but the Constitution and reasonable arguments are not gonna resolve this, so I'm not sure what to do. I basically just avoid it completely IRL, which isn't going to resolve it either.Speaker to Animals wrote:Whites are a minority in parts of California and the racism against whites, with the weaponization of the state therein, goes on.

Wake the fuck up, people.
You have to adopt it yourself now. There is no undoing what the left and their neocon/libertarian enablers have done to the demographics of our nation.
Even if you passed a constitutional amendment that separates race and state, these people would still vote as a bloc against your interests in other ways.

Hwen said cull.Hwen Hoshino wrote:I am fine with culling some bs additions. I meant the the most commonly known and cited stuff. Freedom of religion, speech, associations etc...apeman wrote:Hwen Hoshino wrote:So what do you want to shoot back with? The US Constitution
Yes, let's hit them with the Constitution!
^ This is Constitutional.Disparate impact in United States labor law refers to practices in employment, housing, and other areas that adversely affect one group of people of a protected characteristic more than another, even though rules applied by employers or landlords are formally neutral. Although the protected classes vary by statute, most federal civil rights laws protect based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex as protected traits, and some laws include disability status and other traits as well.
Fire departments had to change their facially neutral screening exams because the results were not sufficiently diverse. The Constitution.
Asian students have to ace the SATs to even be considered for the Ivy Leagues. The Constitution.
Now, if we actually read the Constitution to mean what it plainly says, well then, I think we could "shoot back" with the Constitution.

New York City
Chicago
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Seattle
Let's start with those. Let them go to become city-states within a wider American confederation so that they can govern themselves as they see fit. Encourage the lefties to migrate to those cities before some cut-off date. After the cut-off date, if you live in those cities, then you are citizens of those cities rather than US citizens. American citizenship will relate to the wider confederation of territories and city-states (PR could be among them) whereas US citizenship would entail living in the parts of America that still FAITHFULLY follow the US Constitution.

Many, many people died as a result of the power structure being unable to control communication and thought.
The Internet.
The New Media.
Change will happen. History says it will likely not be peaceful.
