That context wasn't free of consequences. You guys asked for it

[shardikprime@lemmy.world]

I'd say shoot your shot, you miss a 100% of the ones you don't take

Easier

Although I'd love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.

Yes, it's harder to be black/hispanic. Yes, it's harder to be a woman. Yes, it's harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us is the oppression of the working class.

Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don't lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will adapt to and support any rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you'll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.

Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.

It's in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.

And the twist is that he also becomes a Traveller in Ireland

It's not prejudiced, though.

inb4 but I'm white and had a hard life - it could've been even harder.

[2ugly2live@lemmy.world]

Easier, not easy.

Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days

[splashjackson@lemmy.ca]

Depends on where you was born

[splashjackson@lemmy.ca]

Where is it harder to be hispanic or black? In Hispanola or Africa? Life isn't equally oppressive across the entire world

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

This assumes that I am suggesting women have it easiest.

I am suggesting a white man who has boobs and is hot would have it easiest.

[keropoktasen@lemmy.world]

Nah. He will be blamed for everything that's happening in the world. White guilt is real.

[hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world]

That man is going to get an extremely brutal lesson in the difference between absolute and relative values.

[sam_bass@lemmy.world]

easy is relative. all depends on how you see the world. while there is quantitative evidence for genetics to play a part in it, ease can be changed just as much by the person as by the environment.

Don't bother responding to people like this. This is the internet version of that one annoying kid that showed up on the playground, claimed they could beat everyone in Mario Kart, then never played wgen presented the chance and instead told some made up story about how they stole their parent's car to buy drugs or some bullshit.
