(1,901 posts)what that symbol means, despite stating otherwise?
Why the focus on the white supremacists then, when your doctoral dissertation and your travel taught you that the symbol did not mean what was implied?
I helpfully offered you two links so that any confusion could be cleared up.
Why do you suppose that some "progressives" feel the need to sound like CONs by choosing to use right wing talking points, and why do these people exhibit the same short term memory issues, the same projection and the same attitude towards POC, people of other belief systems and women?
Why do they put in quotes stuff they make up and misattribute them to the people they're trying to denigrate? Do you think it hurts us as actual progressives to have people whose pretense to progressiveness doesn't extend to getting rid of the Right wing talking points, the right wing methods of argument and the right wing need to project?
How does this help us actually fight for progressive causes when these folks are using right wing attacks from the supposed left? How does this obsession with only the white population help us with anywhere in the US, where non-white populations are ever increasing? Is it really wise to employ right wing tactics against progressives, how does that help Democrats or progressives or address liberal causes. How does ignoring the ever growing proportion of the electorate that isn't white, that isn't suffering from "economic" anxiety, but from fear of the aggrieved white that's being whipped up into race based rage and shooting us?
Why is calling out those people who embrace and lovingly tend to the delicate feelings of racists so wicked? Or are such concerns merely "marginal issues" that we must not be "rigid" on, like women's basic human rights, which apparently are no longer progressive, but something that can be jettisoned.
is it really wise to abandon more than half the electorate who are deeply upset about the regressive positions that in vogue right now with so called progressives? What's the difference between purist progressives and Conservatives when basic human rights for women, POC and others that make up the base are considered so much the part of the war on the establishment, whatever that means?
Why are progressives and our the issues that make up our daily concerns issues that can so easily marginalized, and how is it not hopelessly wicked to do such a thing so cavalierly?
I truly don't understand what you're trying to say, can you explain please?
