212562, "This thread" is your thread, and you decide if you argue in good faith
Posted by Cold Truth, Tue Oct-27-20 08:12 PM
There's nothing that anyone else says or does that has any bearing on whether or not you choose to discuss anything in good faith.

That's a choice you make for yourself.

Meanwhile, in your own thread, which you created under the guise of sincere concern for those who aren't you.

When those who aren't you expressed in good faith negative feedback for the tone deaf nature of your post?

You made the choice to abandon the stance where you're terrified for those who aren't you be abandoning any semblance of good faith in favor of sarcasm and condescension.

The second your Concerned White Ally prose was rejected by Those Who Aren't You, you lost every ounce of that concern.

And now, when pressed on that dramatic shift in demeanor?

You said... "you expect good faith arguments here?", as though nobody here is capable of good faith arguments, as though any argument that rejected your initial premise couldn't possibly be made in good faith.

All of this strongly suggests that your initial expression of "terror for those who aren't you" was feigned.

You chose to take your own supposedly sincere initial premise, and devolve it to smug, garden variety message board snark, all because your Deeply Concerned, Rich White Guy Ally presentation wasn't welcome by all with open arms.

The sum of your words in this one thread is a microcosm of white fragility, white savior complex, white superiority, white liberal racism, and a host of other things, and you doubly down on that with each successive reply. This is underscored by the fact that you have no interest in changing that perception with clarifying statements.
